Something may be happening here, but it sounds like Sexton isn't exactly clear on what it is. Singer/songwriter Martin Sexton continues to perform serious minded tunes on his latest five-track EP, Fall Like Rain. That doesn't mean the material is heavy. Sexton leavens his compositions with calls for transcendence, such as on "One Voice Together", where he preaches joining together to make the world a better place. Or he uses crooning vocals, such as on his "Happy Anniversary" celebratory tune that expresses the love he has for his wife. He even lets...
Don't get me wrong, I like Obama. I was just hoping to watch Raising Hope last night. So I was a little sad to see the State Of The Union take it's place. BUT some good news hit my inbox while he was getting applauded. Martin Sexton released an EP yesterday - Fall Like Rain. Six songs that tackle today's unsettle climate, including a cover of the Buffalo Springfield classic "For What It's Worth". So it seemed fitting that I got word [...]

Unless you're living totally off the grid, it's hard to ignore the signs. Church Christmas bazaars and crafts fairs pepper the New England landscape, their wreaths and wraps and wooden ornaments a constant temptation. Television relationships get warmer by the fire; the commercials all begin to come in red velvet and white fur trim. Even the older family down the street has gotten into the act, draping the gutters with fauxcicles, topping the old stump with a glittering wire angel, trimming the lawn with white plastic snowmen and skeletal reindeer that blink furiously into [...]
Since the mid-aughts, Craig Finn has built a strong reputation by writing clever, witty and pop-culture-infused story songs as the front man for The Hold Steady . With five albums under his belt with the "world's greatest bar band" , Finn will release his solo debut, Clear Heart Full Eyes (whosetitle is a reference to Friday Night Lights), via Vagrant Records on January 24. Recorded in Austin, Texas and backed by members of White Denim, The Heartless Bastards, Phosphorescent, and Centro-matic, the 11-track set is being described by Finn as, "a bunch of songs that were outside [...]

Martin Sexton was on a folky mix given to me back when I was in high school and I became infatuated. His original song "Hallelujah" and " Faith on the Table " were those songs that made it on to multiple mixtapes for years. If you are unfamiliar with those songs I can't recommend them enough, so click the links to give the live versions a spin. I still listen to my favorite albums of his Wonder Bar and Black Sheep when the mood strikes, but it never crossed my mind [...]

3 Songs: On Repeat
1. Hospitality - "Betty Wang" (The New York-based band released their highly anticipated self-titled debut on Merge this week. Led by singer Amber Papini and her sometimes coy, always unique voice that has a hint of fake British accent, the band plays an off-kilter brand of retro-laced pop. "Betty Wang", the super-catchy first single, was written about Amber's old law firm co-worker.) www.myspace.com/ hospitality lives Download: http://soundcloud.com/mergerec ords/hospitality-betty-wang [...]

Recap: 2011′s McDowell Mountain Music Festival
The weather was ideal, there was a beer truck tapped with New Belgium Brewery's Beers (among others), and the artists delivered. Yes, 'twas such a good time at the 2011 McDowell Mountain Music Festival , that I think that, over a week later, I've finally fully recovered. Of the three days of music on the main stage, I missed only one band - Friday's opener Paper Snowmen. Sorry Paper Snowmen, I'll make it up to you somehow. Day One [...]
