Martin Sexton’s next Boston-area show is November 21, 2026 at City Winery Boston.
Martin Sexton is a Syracuse-born singer-songwriter who built his career busking on Boston's streets in the late 1980s before earning a reputation as one of the most powerful live performers in American roots music—a vocalist who can move from whisper to gospel roar in a single phrase. His songs draw on soul, blues, country, and folk, and his work has been featured in Scrubs, Parenthood, and Masters of Sex; his 2001 double-vinyl live album Live Wide Open remains a fan favorite, and his 2026 tour marks its 25th anniversary.
