Martin Sexton Tickets

One of the best Martin Sexton shows I have seen. The opener was great and fit in perfectly with the Sexton songs. Incredible show!

I've been waiting to see Marty for 5 or 6 years now and it was great! I thought the show was a little bit short, but likely because I was amped to see him. It was made even better by the fact that Ryan Montbleau is the opener. I know Ryan through a friend, so I've seen him a bunch of times, going back to when he was just a guy and a guitar with no following to now. His band,(and now Marty's band) are phenomenal!!!

Martin Sexton is even better live. I have never seen a man hit all those high notes who was not an opera singer. He is definitely a musician's-musician, so talented and versatile. I can't believe more people do not know about him.

Wonderful show. His new CD is amazing, best CD yet. Great concert. Thanks House of Blues.

If you have never been to one of Martin's shows, you have sadly been missing an incredible experience. He rocks the house EVERY time and Ryan is just icing on the cake! Thanks boys for a wonderful show!

From the opening act to the end of Marty's set it rocked!

This was the 3rd time in as many years my wife and I have seen Martin Sexton play locally in MA. Two years ago we saw him at an outdoor show in Lowell, MA which was amazing. Although he played solo, without a back up band, his energy and music choice was great which included more of his earlier personal work as well as some mixed music that included some great Led Zeppelin riffs. Last year we saw him again at Berkley Performance Center in Boston, MA, another great solo show. We were very excited to see him play The House of Blues, this time accompanied with a band. Again, I was expecting a solid performance with a mix of both heavier folk/rock as well as some personal songs. in summary I was very disappointed with his song choice. Although a few of the new songs introduced off his new CD, Sugarcoat were pretty good, the other song choices were mostly mello and boring. He played very little if any of his early work (i.e; did not play "the journey" or "beast in me" etc). He did very little with utilizing his voice box instrument which he is well versed at and di nothing creatively different with his songs, mixes, solo's etc... Additionally, his encore was weak. He played only one song and was done. Knowing that much of his early career roots came from playing in the streets of Boston, I expected a more emotional performance, yet standing only 3 rows from him on stage, I felt his heart may not have been in last nights performance.

Greetings. I write to you all pumped about music. This is the second time my mind's been blown this month by old-favorite local bands of mine at the new Mecca of Boston Live Music, House of Blues. I was lucky enough to witness John Brown's Body, America's favorite 'homegrown' reggae band, reach a new height in their career in the town they came up in. The Martin Sexton/Ryan Montbleau show carried just as many proud and magical moments. I've been a long time fan of both Ryan and Martin. They're both some of the hardest working touring acts in the country right now. In general, they fly under a 'mainstream' radar but both have roots in the national touring scene and an ever-growing fanbase. Martin Sexton is a national treasure and is something to be seen live. He is a very talented singer and a solid, innovative guitar player. His musical pallette rests comfortably in the Americana vein and his lyrics evoke the great rock storytellers like Springsteen and Seger-you can tell this guy speaks from experience. Martin is just as comfortable playing with a band as he is crooning solo to a room of 1500 and it was fantastic to see a younger crowd there to sing and dance to his songs. Martin played a healthy mix of new and old. There was a lull or two with some of the mid-tempo love songs, but for the most part the night was full of dancing. When Martin went for the ballad, people were there all the way. There was another special thing about this show for me- Seeing Ryan open for, then back-up one of his self-professed heroes. I used to go to Ryan's North Shore shows back in college in the early 2000s when he was playing on his first record. You always had the feeling that Ryan was headed for bigger stages, and you always knew that there was a deep admiration for people like Martin. You got the feeling that the guy was realizing a dream being on that big stage, and it was cool to see the generations come together, master and student, to play beautiful music. Chances are a Martin Sexton show will be one of your top then, and one of his songs will be there for you when you need it. GO SEE MARTIN SEXTON PLAY!

Really enjoyed last night's show at the House of Blues. The venue was great. Loved hearing Martin Sexton play with the Ryan Montblau band as well as hearing him play by himself. Overall, really great!

Martin was on point all night! He looked like he was having a great time up there. Great setlist and sing-alongs but I wasn't too keen on the venue. It was dull and impersonal, lacking anything special and unique. That said, I'll check it out again!
