The 2023 Tour takes Martin across North America in support of his latest ep 2020 Vision (produced by 3-time Grammy nominee John Alagia (Lukas Nelson, John Mayer, Dave Matthews) as well as reinventing his own classics for these critically-acclaimed solo performances. Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, he has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. His songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs, Parenthood, Masters of Sex, Sprung, and in numerous films, though it’s his incendiary live show, honest lyrics, and vocal prowess that keep fans coming back for a new experience every time.
MORE ABOUT MARTIN SEXTON
Owning one of the most powerful and dynamic voices in American popular music, Martin Sexton straddles the worlds of folk, soul, country and rock ‘n roll with ease. For the last 25 years, his earnest songwriting, quirky stylistic shape-shifting and seemingly boundless vocal range has created a legion of devoted fans around the world. After getting his start busking in the streets and subways of Boston, Sexton quickly rose to the top of the city’s bustling folk scene on the strength of his otherworldly and effortless voice and his wildly popular self-produced demo tapes (sold over 20,000 tapes out of his guitar case). Black Sheep, his record label debut, vaulted Sexton into the main stages of the country’s folk festival circuit and soon the talented singer-songwriter began to bust out of the folk cocoon entirely with recordings that flirted with jazz, rock ‘n roll and R&B.
After several records on major labels, Sexton started his own and settled down in Western Massachusetts. He tours relentlessly, performing for fans at Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, Carnegie Hall and concerts halls across the country. Attracting the ears of Hollywood, his songs have appeared on popular television shows like Scrubs and Parenthood. Despite his rise to fame, Sexton’s unique ability to connect with listeners through his blue-collar songs and tell-tale voice remains unchanged. In 2020, he released his pandemic-inspired EP, 2020 voice Vision, featuring the hit single “Hold On.”
Note: For some concerts, the window behind the stage may need to be covered for acoustical purposes. We do not always know which artists will need the window closed, but at a certain level of amplification, it is necessary.
