Troy, NY singer/songwriter Sean Rowe recently released his third album, Magic – a commanding debut on Anti Records. A finely skilled lyricist with a background as a naturalist, Rowe’s music examines relationships with others, things, and to the natural world, on many levels foraging and tracking the connections that bind and at times tear us apart. At heart, Rowe believes there is a simplicity and harmony to life in the wild, and this informs his spare but emotional acoustic performances. Rowe’s powerful baritone is rendered skillfully – it is his primary instrument – along with guitar and occasional percussion. Standouts among the ten tracks include “Surprise”, “Jonathan”, and the heavy blues tune, “Old Black Dodge.” Sean Rowe is not to be missed – go get his album Magic and see him live! – Written by JFelton
