MARTIN SEXTON
"The real thing, people." -Billboard In 2017 American singer-songwriter Martin Sexton extends touring in support of his ninth studio release Mixtape of the Open Road. The Wall Street Journal and CMT premiered tracks from the album that since garnered much critical acclaim. "Outstanding taste in songwriting as well as a soul-marinated voice." -Rollingstone Syracuse native Sexton got his start singing in the streets and subways of Boston in the early 90's. Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall, he has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. His songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs, Parenthood, Masters of Sex and in numerous films, though it's his incendiary live show, honest lyrics, and vocal prowess that keep fans coming back for more.
Matt MacKelcan has emerged from the southeast with a genuine combination of American soul and an upbeat pop-rock style. Matt’s trademarks are a big voice, authentic songwriting, personable nature and an extra dose of funny. He has toured all over America and performed at major festivals/events throughout the country.
Matt's recently released LP From Where I Stand produced by Aaron Tap (Matt Nathanson) has garnered critical acclaim and is currently getting radio adds (AAA and College) with singles “Drive “ “Plans” and “Here’s to the Night”. It debuted in the top 40 Singer/Songwriter iTunes Charts. Audiences are growing in all markets and the word of mouth on the album and the entertaining live show have Matt poised for a big 2016. He will be recording new material in August in Nashville and single/EP release date in October.
Matt has toured and performed with artists such as Matt Nathanson, Martin Sexton, Corey Smith, Andrew McMahon, Blues Traveler to name a few and will be supporting Eric Hutchinson on his “Anyone Who Knows Me” Fall tour.
