Hailing from Belfast, Ireland... Dom Martin is, in my opinion THE hottest blues artist I've heard in MANY years, and if he can get a few breaks, he's going to the the next big thing in blues. And I haven't said this about any artist I've had on this show, of the 920 something guests I've had.   
His songwriting is original, and he knows how to make you feel something whether he's playing electric, acoustic, or slide guitar. Since 2019, Dom's released a live album and 3 Studio LPs, including his latest album which just came out, called Buried in the Hail. I've listened to Dom's catalog MANY times in the 2 months or so I've been familiar with him. He's got me through MANY workouts, car rides, and walks.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
