Martin Sexton-My Maria

[@marley774]

I was at this show and am so glad someone captured a song from it! If I remember correctly, Martin and his wife had welcomed a baby the day before! Such an a amazing show.

Recently, at a music festival, I had the privilege of taking pics from the pit. Since I was already a big fan, this was just heaven.

[@shaunmichael747]

God this guy is amazing!!! I wish I had found him sooner he gets right into my soul and takes me to a better place.Truly an Artist.

[@YouNeedMani]

I was just listening to this walking home and to my right I could see the last minutes of the sunset and the sky fading from orange to dark blue and the stars were already shining through billions of miles of space. Fucking magical. Pardon my language.

[@halleck09]

This is the song that hooked me 11 years ago, and the man still amazes me to this day.

[@MattyO_83]

Wow. That's all I can really say. He puts it all out there and plays with his soul. Good stuff!

[@feetheweasel]

Stunning,,,,,simply awesome. Thanks Journey.

[@philipose66]

i kinda thought i knew him and his work--saw him live many yrs ago in a small venue---this particular video is a mind blowing performance (yes, not the best production, but so what--it captures what needs to be captured

[@jimmything80]

That 737 took me on an amazing trip! Nice.

[@richiemabie]

Sometimes you just have one of those days. This was his day right here WOW !

[@limenode]

He honestly is ridiculous... I'm not sure why I haven't heard of Martin prior to roughly a month ago. Thanks Journey!

[@jamesrichardson63]

good huh....i learned of him when he opened for chris trapper in 99 in houston. i have loved him since, so coooool!! you will love chris as well if you like martin. they still tour together i think. happy listening!

[@SandyCuse]

Journey..totally outstanding/breathtaking and straight from the heart...nice job! See ya in Albany!! Peace.

[@jamesrichardson63]

yea, he used it when i saw him in houston back in 1999 it was really cool

[@taloisi]

Hmm something is missing here. OH yeah- it's the sound of people talking, laughing and puking in the corner! Thank god for theater shows. Thanks for sharing this!

[@richiemabie]

this mans voice is such an instrument

[@doodsie07]

Amazing in video and even better live! One man playing with so many sounds. Go see him live if you get the chance.

[@filmerado]

Marty told the story as an intro to the song in the late 90s in NYC. I knew the statue he was talking about, this painted alabaster piece, because I too went to Lourdes and remember just staring at it (mainly during the boredom of church) esp. the serpent crushed beneath her feet which made no sense to me but it was a compelling image.

Beautiful

[@colton422]

in 3 weeks at the PARK WEST in Chicago, I hope Marty plays it just like this version. I have a few versions of this song by him and think this is the best I've heard My Maria in 10 years. just before the 4:30 mark it felt like he was playing a verse from Gerry Rafferty's BAKER STREET (you used to think it was so easy, but you're trying you're trying now, just one more year and you will be happy, but you're crying, you're crying now)....new album SUGARCOATING this week APRIL 6 !!

[@filmerado]

He's been doing this since like 1990, at Passim's in Cambridge,, at CBGB 313 Gallery, song about a statue of Mary in Lourdes church Syracuse from boyhood

[@jsnell126]

haha i love the rocker stance at the end

[@LEFT4BASS]

He has EPIC dripping off of him!

[@DrinkCoffee24]

that's cool, do you have a link to a story about it? This is one of my fave songs of his.

[@mariachristink]

MY NAMES MARIA :D

[@mmccutcheon7427]

Martin has nothing to do with Zeppelin. He needs to float his own boat.

[@gregmckinn2000]

If playing acoustic guitar while soloing electric guitar WITH HIS MOUTH isn't original, then what is? OH and by the way he nailed the song with skill, feeling, and soul. I was entertained and inspired!!

[@shaunmichael747]

Martin could have slipped into Zeppelin imagine that him,Robert,Jimmy,dueling guitars and voices.

[@llamawizard]

sweet mouth slide electric guitar, or whatever you call it
