From 1996 to 2002, Martin Sexton released Black Sheep, The American, Wonder Bar and Live Wide Open. During this time, he toured worldwide. A fiercely independent musician, Martin Sexton launched his own label, KTR, in 2002. With his soulful sound, he continues to impress fans and critics, "Martin Sexton is ripe with raw, expansive talent. His voice comes in a hundred impossible shades. His songs are sweet and spirited and soulful. His repertoire is like a cross-country tour of the American musical vernacular," writes the Boston Globe. In 2007 and 2008, Sexton began his most successful years to date with the release of Seeds. The album debuted at #6 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. His latest studio release, Sugarcoating, shows what this one-of-a-kind-troubadour does best: locating larger truths within the specific details of the life he's living.
