Self-taught guitarist and singer Martin Sexton has synthesized his experiences and imaginings into rootsy Americana for more than two decades now. He first built a following in Boston, where he did stints at coffeehouses and hawked his self-produced, self-released debut, In the Journey. His acclaim grew, and drew the attention of other noteworthy artists—John Mayer, Peter Frampton and Paul Newman have all sung Sexton’s praises. Sexton grew up on rock ’n’ roll in Syracuse, N.Y., but decamped to Boston in his early 20s to try out the folk scene. After releasing The American and Wonder Bar on Atlantic Records, Sexton founded his own Kitchen Table Records label, and has remained independent ever since. He’s opened for Art Garfunkel, Jackson Browne and John Hiatt, among others, and continues to tour, record and win over fans with his bluesy folk-rock and his animated, excellent live performances. Sugarcoating, the artist’s seventh full-length, was released in April. TWEETS
