Sean Rowe

Based in Albany and now touring nationally, Sean Rowe has a deep, magical voice that is nothing if not wise and experienced. His ability to conjure dueling emotions the elation of childhood versus the bruising of real life is the mark of a skilled lyricist. He has been compared to Van Morrison in his Astral Weeks phase, for his abstract lyric phrasing, and the way he crafts an experience of emotion, rather than telling a linear tale. Most powerfully he brings to mind Leonard Cohen, with songwriting which tends to build into powerful, yet vulnerable, cathedral-like monuments of sound.
Sean's latest album, Magic, is an homage to what he believes in, to what he finds magical in the world. The themes of love, innocence, sex and nature prevail in its heartfelt songs.
