I went to the Nokia Theatre in Times Square on Friday to see Martin Sexton. For those out there that don't know Martin, do yourself a favor and spend some good time on his website checking out what he's about: www.martinsexton.com.
He's not just another guy with a guitar. His songwriting is inspired his style is engaging, his energy is contagious and his voice is one of a kind. Just being at a concert of his makes you feel good. Isn't that really what's it's all about?
On friday i was reminded of the first time i saw him at Irving Plaza a few years ago. I knew only a few songs by him, but found myself trying to sing along to his entire set. This time was different, i knew all his songs and still found myself wanting to sing along to his entire set. He wasn't alone with his guitar this time. He was backed up by a bass, drums, keys and a soprano saxaphone. However, even with a full band and a packed house of 2,000, the songs were still as intimate and enjoyable as ever.
Martin has been around for longer than a decade, but is starting to make some noise in the live music scene once again... and its about time. He has a packed tour schedule this spring. Check him out at the Green Apple Music festival in San Fransisco on 4/22 at Golden Gate Park.
