What's the deal?
Martin Sexton is a different kind of musician. Refusing to sell out and become what he's not, Martin has taken a road uniquely his own to live his life doing what he loves...making music. But, Martin's music is more than just music. Once you get hooked, it becomes just as vital to your existence as the blood running through your veins. As an obsessed Martin fan, I find myself jonesing for his music when I've gone a few days without hearing it. Why? Because Martin knows how to get inside of you! Martin uses music as a vehicle for his soul- and you can't help but feel it. You can't help but be touched by it. You can't help but to move, inside and out! Martin changes people. If you've never heard him before, BEWARE. You might just be inspired to quit your job and travel cross country. Martin reminds us what's important in life. He touches and awakens a deep simplicity that's been buried by mindless materialism. Some people go to church on Sunday morning to get inspired, I put on a Martin CD, or check in on YouTube to see if Fee, or any other fellow fans, have posted new Martin videos. It's just the inspiration I need- honesty. authenticity. simplicity.
