Sean Rowe June 7, 2008

When Rowe gets in front of a microphone, he is transformed into a wizened and grizzled old black griot. He summons up a voice from deep within that begs comparisons to such genre-bending innovators as funk-jazz master Gil Scott-Heron or the late beach bum turned philosopher Ted Hawkins." [Don Wilcock - The Troy Record] "As thick and sweet as molasses, Sean Rowes 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, this is deep soul youll feel right down to the tips of your toes, and, uh, other nether regions."[Metroland Magazine] "It seems almost impossible that a performer so slight and Caucasian could produce sounds so bottomless and soulful." [The Skidmore News-Skidmore College] "Rowe has the uncanny ability in live performance to mimic a 3-piece band."[Metroland Magazine] "27 is a lightning bolt of ingenuity. I personally play Seans music in between Ella, Roy Hargrove, and Nina Simone; between Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, and Coltrane. [Arthur Gonick - WSPN-FM 91.1 Skidmore College] [Rowe has] the grainy, coarse, pulverized and yet full and lumbering voice of a blues singer or an understudy of Tom Waits mixing with the slick, agile, lyrical folk rocking command of a soft-spoken young urban singer/songwriter.
