Singer/songwriter Martin Sexton raised the money to make his first CD by busking in Boston, giving his talents as a live performer an early test. With a voice that captures listeners and brings them into his world of song and a knack for powerful narrative in his music, Sexton quickly gathered fans and swayed critics to his side. Sexton's reputation has grown with the release of each new album, all bringing together his personal mix of soul, gospel, R&B, country, blues and acoustic folk. His new CD Solo, reflects the energy of his live shows by featuring Sexton with acoustic performance versions of many of his greatest hits and covers of some of the songs that have inspired his career.
