Martin Sexton

Author: DittyTV September 13, 2021 Duration: 45:32
Our guest on the podcast today is Martin Sexton, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., and the tenth of 12 children. He’s been praised for his down-to-earth songwriting and otherworldly voice by everyone from Rolling Stone to the New York Times and Billboard. A friend of his, someone you might’ve heard of named John Mayer had this to say: “Martin Sexton is the best live performer I’ve ever seen. I may just quit my job and go follow Martin and make a fuss everywhere I go, just to make sure that people don’t go their lives without hearing this man sing to them.” You can’t top that. Today, we chat with Martin about his latest EP, 2020 Vision, how he decided to finally build that tree house with his son, what it was like cutting his teeth in Boston, and a lot more.
