The Ovation Guitar Presented by Jim Lenn

The Ovation Guitar, built in New Hartford Connecticut, played a significant role in the singer/songwriter explosion of the late 60's and continuing through the 70's . The advancements in live sound systems led to ever increasing concert sizes requiring an acoustic guitar that was yet to be produced. The Ovation Guitar Company stepped up to fill that void and propelled the singer/songwriter to the forefront of the music scene in that era.

In this presentation you will not only explore the history of the Ovation guitar, but the role it played in literally saving the singer/songwriter movement of this period. See which famous artists used the Ovation guitar to propel their careers forward and hear some of the music performed live by Jim on the Ovation guitar from artists such as Glen Campbell, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, John Denver and more.
