(conqueroo) Martin Sexton, called by Billboard �a vocalist of amazing proficiency and sensual conviction,� has completed a holiday album titled Camp Holiday, which he recorded in a cabin deep within the Adirondack Mountains. The album will be released independently on his own Kitchen Table Records through Redeye Distribution with a November 15 street date.

You could almost smell the wood smoke as songs like �Blue Christmas� fill the room. Unencumbered by the distractions of big production, the simplicity allows this one-man band to shine like the brightest bulb on the tree using his body as a drum, his voice like a trumpet and his spaghetti strainer as percussion.

Camp Holiday is the perfect winter companion, complete with quintessential festive ingredients: the warmth of a timeless classic in �I�ll Be Home for Christmas,� the joy of a swinging �Holly Jolly,� a family gathering in �Silent Night� � where his father and daughter sit in � and a timely rendition of �Let There Be Peace on Earth.�

The holiday spirit of giving is not lost on this album either. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Camp Sunshine, a retreat for children with life threatening illnesses.

Sexton, a Massachusetts-based troubadour who�s no stranger to the road, has been widely hailed by critics. The Wall Street Journal called him �an impassioned performer who can bring women and men to tears when they see him live.� The New York Times said �he can turn an ordinary song into a jazzy showcase� and "his unpretentious heartiness helps him focus on every soul singer's goal: to amplify the sound of the ordinary heart.� And Acoustic Guitar called him �not just a good singer, songwriter and musician. He�s a musical adventurer and innovator� and cited his �mad scientist approach.�

Martin Sexton will tour throughout the fall and winter including selected holiday radio shows in major markets.
