Sean Rowe wsg Julia Alsarraf

Sean Rowe and Julia Alsarraf

Sean Rowe is an American singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist, and forager. Rowe has a powerful sound with an emotional conviction that demands attention. NPRs All Songs Considered says of Rowes vocals, He can just crush granite with that voice. Its so powerful. The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, Mr. Rowe's ringing baritone is as timeless as his approach, recalling the ecstatic intensity of late-'60s Van Morrison and stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash. Rowe has graced the stage of Mountain Jam, Wilcos Solid Sound Festival as well as opening for Robert Plant and the Alabama Shakes. Both an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and having his song, To Leave Something Behind featured in the film, The Accountant, have expanded his voice to an international audience.

His latest release, The Darkness Dressed in Colored Lights, was recorded at The Hive in Wisconsin by Grammy-winning engineer, Brian Joseph (Bon Iver). Expanding his sound, Rowe continues to write heartfelt songs strongly rooted in singer-songwriter tradition. PopMatters.com reflected, with lyrics that have the poetic storytelling quality you expect from Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen. An avid naturalist and renowned forager, Rowe often speaks of his fascination with the woods and his connection to the land. Look for him on tour currently in a city near you in support of the new album.

Julia Alsarraf is a! RPI grad, singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist who sits in with other bands including Sydney Worthley
