I'm Joseph Sexton. I'm a singer Guitarist who was blessed when I heard Days of the new. The incredible acoustic phenomenon he and his band created and are responsible for . Authentic to the core... It's obvious that an incredible pert of the universe channeled through him. I'm in recovery and I truly believe it is so important for individuals to let music help and support the core of emotion be aided and repaired from the fall of what ever brought or is bringing them down. I still shower myself at times with the works of Travis. I am gonna put my best foot forward to achieve a platform to reach into the world and pray that I find out what it's like to be not the undertow but the current that is capable of changing life and feeling. My best friend Will Thompson and his wife and kids have been the loving support that let's you know that anything is possible with music. We have lost so so and way too many artists... The blessing is that there music still reaches us...
