Sept 25, 2005 - Unfamiliar eyes would never expect the amazing dynamics that come from singer-songwriter Martin Sexton, but his fans seem to feed off of it. With his perpetual smile and happy-go-lucky attitude, Sexton took to the stage with just a guitar and immediately mesmerized the gathering crowd. Beast In Me, exemplifying his knack for story-telling and his friendly, breathy voice, started the crowd bobbing. In just a few minutes time, Sexton's voice transformed into an incarnation of Randy Newman with Diggin Me a fun tale of love that showcased his impressive beat boxing abilities.Angeline a popular track from his 2000 release Wonder Bar had the crowd sympathizing with Sexton as he pleaded to this cheating character; a classic example of his hold on his audience.
