Martin Sexton

Artist's Website

“The real thing, people, a star with potential to permanently affect the musical landscape and keep us entertained for years to come.”—Billboard

American soul man Martin Sexton is best known for his incendiary live performances. There is perhaps no better way to experience Sexton’s live concert energy than via one of his solo shows. On October 14, Sexton releases a new live recording, Solo. Documenting a series of recent unaccompanied live appearances, the album captures the singer-songwriter in theatres coast-to-coast.

Sexton continues to partner with CLIF Bar GreenNotes, an innovative initiative that provides touring musicians with support and know-how to stay environmentally friendly on the road. Sexton recently contributed to Protect The Places We Play, an iTunes exclusive charity compilation that includes tracks by Michael Franti & Spearhead, Gomez and Brett Dennen, among others.

Sexton got his start playing on the streets and subways of Boston in the 1990s. Today he sells out venues nationwide—world-class rooms like the Nokia Theater in New York City and House of Blues Los Angeles. With his song “Diner” included on a recent episode of “Scrubs,” the single “Happy” from Seeds reaching #1 on the AAA charts and the second single “Wild Angels” being included in a USA Today “Playlist” upon the album’s release, the accolades continue. Sexton has earned the respect of fellow artists, people like John Mayer, who calls him “the best live performer I’ve ever seen.”
