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.”
