Sean Rowe

On the song “Night,” from Sean Rowe’s forthcoming ANTI- debut, Magic, the singer turns his rich, unnerving baritone to a moment of childhood innocence. Back then, he muses, you could fall “like a floating leaf,” and the earth would “look up at you and smile.” Rowe's deep, magical voice is nothing if not wise and experienced; he knows full well that after the innocence comes the fall. This ability to conjure dueling emotions – the elation of childhood versus the bruising of real life – marks the arrival of a skilled lyricist and songwriter, in the tradition of Van Morrison and Leonard Cohen.

An avid naturalist, Rowe derives inspiration from his own wilderness experiences along with the writings of transcendentalists like Henry David Thoreau. “I love the simplicity and harmony of the natural world. I think it’s something we have lost touch with. But it’s hard to write songs about nature without sounding hokey. For me it’s more about imagery and emotion and not necessarily creating a straight forward narrative.”

Metroland Magazine recently proclaimed that “Rowe’s baritone is one of those rare singing voices that will leave you forever changed. Like Al Green, Van Morrison, or Gil Scott-Heron at their best…” while WEXT Radio offered, “Listening to Sean Rowe, it is hard to decide what is more magical – the dream-inducing songs or Sean’s powerful, emotional voice. The big, deep and rich sound pulls on your heart almost to the point of breaking.”
