this thread will probably die a quick front-page death, but by any chance is anyone else here a fan?

Yes, Martin Sexton is the man. I got to see him live at a free concert a while back and he was great.

No, I live in Louisville. One of the smaller radio stations does free concerts throughout the summer on the riverfront usually by smaller name musicians. I had heard of him before the show and was very impressed after seeing him.

impressed enough to become a fan?

he's got a great back story, don't know if you know it...but he actually used to be homeless, and he played for change in the boston subways...somehow (don't know details) he managed to parlay that into his present music career...good stuff.

I had just learned of him before the show, so I was a fan of what I had heard but not a hardcore fan. After seeing the show, I was very impressed and certainly a bigger fan. I did not know his story but I will look it up.

Saw him in Lincoln back in 2004. He was amazing, one of the best live perfomances I've ever seen. Been a fan since.

Freedom of the Road (live) is an awesome song. I'm certainly a fan. I like his live stuff better than his studio stuff.

Yes, I am a fan. I've seen him live before. He is goot.
