MARTIN SEXTON
Billboard calls Martin Sexton "the real thing, people, a star with potential to permanently affect the musical landscape and keep us entertained for years to come." His songs are intricate and spirited... Sexton's fans range from teenage students to jocks to musicians, black, white, young and old, all singing together in three-part harmony. According to The New York Times, "[Sexton's] unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singeršs goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart." Rolling Stone describes his voice as one "that can easily be compared to the likes of a young Steve Winwood or Van Morrison."
Happily and fiercely independent, Martin Sexton launched his own label Kitchen Table Records in 2002. He has been releasing critically acclaimed albums ever since, and filling up world-class venues on his extensive national (and international) tours. Currently working his seventh record, SEEDS, which the Boston Globe calls, "an ebullient tour of soul and old-time gospel, Western swing and playful pop, feel-good country and acoustic blues," Sexton continues to sell out shows from the Nokia Theatre in New York City to The Fillmore in San Francisco, and all stops between.
