Martin Sexton

America comes together in the music of Martin Sexton. Our hearts mend, our
political and philosophical differences melt away, and the various strains of
our roots music entangle. Of Sexton, The New York Times says: “His
unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer’s goal: to
amplify the sound of the ordinary heart."
Sexton has remained true to his mission of sharing peace and harmony
throughout his 10 albums, and in countless incendiary live performances. He
has thus built a loyal following of fans, including critics and superstar artists.
He is without a doubt what Billboard calls: “The real thing.”
These days, people are coming together to revel in Sexton’s musicality for his
Martin Sexton Abbey Road Show. This is a live show extravaganza in which
he performs the iconic Beatles’ album in its entirety followed by a set of
mainly original music. Currently, Sexton is also working on his 11th album,
which will be his first full-length album in 10 years.
Sexton is a songwriter’s songwriter, with a multi-octave voice that knows no
bounds. Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls him a: "Master of dynamics,
reducing a room to silence with his blustering baritone, then teasing that
silence with a fluttering falsetto."
Sexton’s career in music has unfolded like the stories in one of his sweetly
redemptive songs. He got his start busking on streets and performing at open
mics. Since then, he has gone on to be praised by modern legends such as
John Mayer and Dave Matthews, who calls him one of his favorite singer-
songwriters. Sexton’s songs of grappling and gratitude were the soundtrack to
John Mayer’s early gigging years, and made an indelible impact on the
budding songwriter. Mayer says: “This is the music of my LIFE.”
Sexton has headlined venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, and his
songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs, Parenthood, Masters
of Sex, and in numerous films. His dynamically emotive live show has earned
him critical raves and an engaged and loyal following. The Wall Street Journal says, “Mr. Sexton as an impassioned performer can bring women and men to tears when they see him live.”
