DESCRIPTION:
aka "Can't Stop Thinkin' 'Bout You" from the Black Sheep album.

Martin Sexton is a musician originally from the Syracuse, New York area, and the brother of musician Colleen Sexton.

Martin Sexton began his career as a street performer in Boston's Harvard Square. With just a guitar and his multi-octave, jazz-inflected voice, he managed to sell 15,000 copies of his 1992 demo IN THE JOURNEY out of his guitar case. His strong live performances won him a Boston Music Award for "Best New Artist" and led to his being named "Artist of the Year" by the National Academy of Songwriters in 1994.[1]

He worked his way into the city's legendary folk club circuit and soon began touring, releasing his first full-length studio recording BLACK SHEEP in 1996, followed two years later by a major label debut on Atlantic Records, THE AMERICAN, produced by Danny Kortchmar. His second album on Atlantic, WONDER BAR, came out in 2000 and was self-produced by Sexton.

Following his departure from the major label, he formed his own independent label, Kitchen Table Records, and released 2002's LIVE WIDE OPEN, a two-disc live album. CAMP HOLIDAY, a seasonal album of Christmas standards, came out in 2005, and his latest original studio album is SEEDS, released in 2007.

That year, his song "Diner" reached a wide TV audience when it appeared in the Scrubs episode "My Night to Remember."

Sexton's music blends many genres of American music, including soul, gospel, country, rock, blues, and R&B. He is known for his wide vocal range and ability to improvise. Onstage, he often plays the guitar without a pick, using his thumb to play bass lines and his fingers for chords and melodies.
