Genre-blending folkster Martin Sexton will play his only Vineyard concert this summer on Wednesday, August 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the waterfront East Chop Beach Club, to benefit, Friends of mvyradio.

Vineyard old boy Danny Kortchmar produced Mr. Sexton’s 1998 major label debut on Atlantic Records, The American. Mr. Sexton formed his own label shortly after, releasing many awardwinning records including the original live album, Solo, which won last year’s Independent Music Award for Best Live Performance Album.

Besides his personal mix of blues, soul, gospel, country, rock, and rhythm and blues, Mr. Sexton’s performances usually feature him beatboxing, scat singing and pulling improv sounds out of his own baritone vocal chords and his distortion pedal.

The radio station calls this a rare opportunity to see him perform for a very small audience on the beach club deck and beach. Beer, wine and nonalcoholic choices will be served throughout the evening, and specially prepared light hors d’oeuvre will be served between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. when Mr. Sexton’s performance begins. Tickets are limited; see online friendsofmvyradio.org.
