| |
| Martin Sexton is one of the most talked-about recent arrivals to the |
| "new folk" acoustic music scene. The guitarist, singer and songwriter |
| has an amazing vocal range and makes effective use of it in his live |
| shows and on his debut for the Massachusetts-based Eastern Front label. |
| Unlike so many other contemporary singer-songwriters, his vocal style |
| can best be described as soulful, combining the best qualities of |
| singers like Van Morrison, Al Green, Aaron Neville and Otis Redding. |
| |
| Sexton, a self-taught guitarist and singer, was raised in a family of 14 |
| and formed his first rock & roll band in eighth grade. In high school, |
| he was in a profusion of garage bands, playing the music of the Beatles, |
| Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. He left his home in |
| Syracuse, N.Y. ù and the rock & roll life ù in 1988 and headed for |
| Boston, encouraged by what he'd heard about the coffeehouse scene in |
| that city. |
| |
| Despite the ultra-competitive nature of the Boston scene, with too many |
| folk singers and too few coffeehouses, Sexton quickly rose through the |
| ranks. He began playing his brand of soul-filled folk music around |
| Boston's open mike nights and street corners in 1989. |
| |
| In 1991, he released his own record in cassette format, In the Journey, |
| and much of the material on this and Black Sheep, his 1996 debut for |
| Eastern Front Records, is autobiographical in nature, concerning his |
| life on the road. Incredibly, Sexton sold 15,000 copies of his |
| cassette-only album through the strength of his live shows and grueling |
| tours around the U.S. In 1994, Sexton won the National Academy of |
| Songwriters' Artist of the Year Award. By 1996, Sexton was sharing |
| stages with Art Garfunkel, Jackson Browne and John Hiatt on tours. |
| Sexton now has a deal with Atlantic Records, releasing The American in |
| 1998, and Wonder Bar in 2000. Sexton continuted to tour, building a |
| sizeable following throughout the states. He released the holiday-themed |
| Camp Christmas in November, 2005 |
