Martin Sexton

“The best live performer I’ve ever seen.” — John Mayer Martin Sexton tours in support the twenty-fifth anniversary of Live Wide Open – the critically-acclaimed double vinyl live album. The show will include these fan-favorites as well as some new material and surprise covers. America comes together in the music of Martin Sexton. In it, our hearts mend, our political and philosophical differences melt away, and the various strains of our roots music entangle. 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 ten albums. He is revered for his countless incendiary live performances. Additionally, he has built a loyal following of fans, including critics and superstar artists. He is without a doubt what Billboard calls “The real thing.” 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.” Recommended for fans of The Beatles, Brett Dennen, Josh Ritter and Mason Jennings.
