Ryan Montbleau Band to Support, Back Martin Sexton's 2010 US Tour

The Ryan Montbleau Band will be opening Martin Sexton's entire upcoming Sugarcoating tour, which will carry the band nationwide through July. In addition to opening the majority of dates on the tour, the six-piece band will also serve as Martin's backing band for the tour. Sexton's album of the same name will be available on April 6, 2010.

On announcing the news to his fans, Ryan said, "It's hard for me to put my excitement into words. I will say this: the dream come true this time is not even so much that he asked us to play (which is huge), but that we're ready to play. We've been working hard for years and we're going to be ready to be his band come April 15. These shows are going to be very special." Martin and the guys are in rehearsals now.

The tour is mostly routed, though a few more dates are on the way. The band will also be backing Martin at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo, and a four-night run opening for Dave Matthews Band.
