http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/nazareth/index.ssf/2012/08/fifth_annual_martin_on_main_re.html FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the fifth annual Martin On Main. Live music, delicious food, and the excitement of the crowd will be back in historic downtown Nazareth on Saturday, August 4 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum musicians have live acoustic guitar music from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the main stage in the circle downtown. The group secured this year’s headliner Clay Hess, a Grammy-award winning bluegrass artist. Clay toured for three years with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder and is widely considered one of the hottest flat-pickers on the bluegrass circuit. In 2005 and 2009, C.F. Martin & Co created two limited-run Clay Hess Signature models. Clay's performance is presented by Favorite Guitars, a prominent dealer of C.F. Martin guitars, and the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum. His new CD "Rain" will be available for purchase. Clay will play on the main stage in the circle at approximately 3:00 p.m. along with his son Brennan Hess and Jon Garon, owner of My Favorite Guitars.
