Martin Sexton Rings In Holidays With Album & Tour

Singer/songwriter Martin Sexton will kick off a late-year stretch of shows in support of his new holiday album, "Camp Holiday."

Sexton's current tour schedule stretches into January, but most of the dates are stacked in a busy two-week period in December leading up to a New Year's Eve appearance in Northampton, MA.

The multi-instrumentalist Sexton will start his upcoming stretch with a Nov. 25 show in his hometown of Syracuse, NY.

"Camp Holiday" is Sexton's fifth studio album, and his first since 2000's "Wonder Bar." Recorded by Crit Harmon, who produced "Black Sheep," Sexton's 1996 debut, the album consists of Sexton singing holiday standards and accompanying himself on guitar and other instruments.

Sexton's previous release was 2002's "Live Wide Open," his first live album and the first release on his own Kitchen Table Records label.
