Martin Sexton

America comes together with the music of Martin Sexton. Our hearts mend, our political and philosophical differences melt away, and the various strains of our roots are entangled in the music. A songwriter’s songwriter, Sexton has 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 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 Sexton 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 even calls Sexton’s music the music of his life.

He headlined venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, and Sexton’s songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs, Parenthood, Masters of Sex, and in numerous films. His dynamic live show has earned him rave revues from critics and a loyal following. 

Sexton has remained true to his mission of sharing peace and harmony throughout his 10 albums, and in countless incendiary live performances. He has built a loyal following of fans, including critics and superstar artists. Sexton is without a doubt what Billboard calls, “the real thing.”
