Sean Rowe knows how to move his audience with his expressive, deep and sad lyrics on a bed of sober and soft guitar-playing. The charismatic, bearded troubadour finds inspiration in soul and blues and in the works of Wilson Pickett and John Lee Hooker.
Sean Rowe sets himself apart from his peers with his warm, soulful baritone, somewhere in between The National’s Matt Berninger, Tindersticks’ Stuart Staples and 16Horsepower’s David Eugene Edwards. Sometimes inspiration comes from unexpected places Neil Diamond, Barry White and Van Morrison. Rowe is certainly not the kind of songwriter that will tour cafes and bars with a guitar in his lap. With a big heart and a natural, dryly humorous charm, Sean Rowe doesn’t only know how to move his audience, but also to entertain them.
