The Capitol Center for the Arts is excited to announce that Martin Sexton will be performing on Friday, November 8, at 8pm. Tickets for this event start at $27 and are available online at ccanh.com, via phone at 603-225-1111, or at the Capitol Center Box Office, located at 44 South Main Street, Concord, NH.

Growing up in the 80's, and uninterested in the music of the day, Martin Sexton fueled his dreams with the timeless sounds of classic rock 'n' roll. As he discovered the Dusty Old vinyl left in the basement by one of his big brothers, his musical fire was lit. Sexton eventually migrated to Boston, where he began to build a following singing on the streets of Harvard Square, gradually working his way through the scene.

Since launching his own label, KTR<, in 2002 he has infiltrated many musical worlds, performing at concerts ranging from pop (collaborating with John Mayer) to the jam scene to classic rock (collaborating with Peter Frampton); from the Newport Folk Fest to Bonnaroo to New Orleans Jazz Fest to a performance at Carnegie Hall. Regardless of his reputation as a musician's musician, Sexton can't keep Hollywood away. His songs can be heard in many feature films and television including NBC's Scrubs, Parenthood and Showtime's hit series Brotherhood.

Stage, film and television aside, when Sexton isn't touring he often mixes entertainment with his sense of social responsibility, performing at benefits for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camp, the Children's Tumor Foundation, Japan earthquake/tsunami relief (The John Lennon Tribute), and Hurricane Irene relief efforts in Vermont, to name some.

Billboard called Sexton's version of "Working Class Hero," for the Lennon tribute/benefit in 2010,"chill-inspiring." The New York Times noted that this artist "jumps beyond standard fare on the strength of his voice, a blue-eyed soul man's supple instrument," adding, "his unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer's goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart."

Tickets for Martin Sexton's performance are $35 Orchestra/Mezzanine and $27 Balcony and are available by calling 603-225-1111, online at www.ccanh.com, and at the box office, located at 44 South Main Street, Concord, NH on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. An additional $3 will be charged for Day of Show purchases.
