American singer-songwriter Martin Sexton is highly regarded as a musician’s musician. A Syracuse native, Sexton got his start singing in the streets and subways of Boston in the early 90’s and is now known for his wide vocal range and fingerstyle guitar. This one-of-a-kind troubadour blends soul, gospel, country, rock, blues and R&B, causing the Los Angeles Times to label him a soul poet, folkie and rocker simultaneously. Fiercely independent, Sexton has infiltrated many musical worlds, collaborating with John Mayer and Peter Frampton as well as performing in venues as diverse as New Orleans Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, Bonnaroo and Jam Cruise. His songs are featured in Showtime’s “Masters of Sex” and “Brotherhood;” NBC’s “Scrubs” and “Parenthood;” and IFC’s film “Lucky Them.” Says the Boston Globe, “Sexton is ripe with raw, expansive talent. His voice comes in a hundred impossible shades. His songs are sweet and spirited and soulful. His repertoire is like a cross-country tour of the American musical vernacular.”
