Hunter Hayes can add something cool to his resume. He’s been named the new brand ambassador for C. F. Martin & Co.
“It is an absolute honor to be named an official Martin Ambassador and to be recognized by the Martin family. To me, the Martin brand is a name I can trust,” said Hunter Hayes. “They make timeless guitars and prove themselves time and again with their elegant tone and sound. The craftsmanship that goes into every piece is one that has shaped some of my favorite music, and is certainly at the forefront of my own sound. I can’t wait to show off my new Parlor 42-style model on the road!”
“We are excited to add Hunter Hayes to our ever-growing list of new brand ambassadors,” said Amani Duncan, vice president of brand marketing, C.F. Martin & Co. ““Hunter is a naturally-gifted performer whose songwriting and dynamic live performances have made him one of the brightest new stars to emerge from Nashville. Hunter is a perfect addition to our rich roster of Martin players and we are excited to have him as a member of the Martin Guitar family.”
Hayes will also join the growing list of Martin brand ambassadors who have had the unique opportunity to collaborate with Martin’s acclaimed custom shop to create his own artist custom model this summer. “Hunter is really in love with our “parlor” guitars,” said Fred Greene, vice president and general manager of guitars, C.F. Martin & Co. “So we decided a 42-style instrument with a Koa back and sides and an Adirondack top will be a perfect fit for him. Hunter will do a great job of creating a vision for this model and his fans will love seeing a custom model that have the input of one of their favorite artists.”
Hayes is earning rave reviews for his self-titled debut album on Atlantic Records, which showcases his musical gifts as a songwriter, musician and producer. Hayes cites an eclectic group of influences who have inspired him since he started writing songs as a child, some of them being fellow Martin ambassadors, from Garth Brooks and Clint Black to John Mayer and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
