"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]
"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]
“[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.” [CD Baby- www.cdbaby.com]
ever watch the movie into the wild? it made me think of you a bit, with all of your wilderness expertise. i hope all is well for you and am anxiously awaiting your new cd. it'd still be really great to get you into buffalo for a show or two. i think the crowd would really dig ya!
Thanks for the add Sean. Saw you at the Rockwood in NYC back in July. You were awesome & I hope to get another chance to see you perform in the near future. Keep Rockin!! Ciao, Espo
Thank you for adding us. I'm slightly speechless at your voice - just makes me feel good and Mudfunk is very close to what we're doing. Thanks for the inspiration! Best, Fishtail Parker GB
Sean, we're really looking forward to your gig here tomorrow night with Sal Baglio! Should be a great night! -Cheers, Mocha Maya's Coffee House & Espresso Bar
hola, sweetie!! so, funny story, i have moved into the thriving metropolis of ballston spa where i spend my days basking in all its heaven-like glory. i happened to drive by coffee planet on sunday and i noticed a gentleman playing guitar in the front window. Whipping around, i inquired, "is that SEAN??!!" upon further review, and not seeing the tattoo on your forearm, i dismissed the idea and drove away. now, imagine my horror when i look at your site and realize that it was, in fact, you. potentially the only bright spot in B Spa in the past month. and i've missed it. well, it's settled then--i'm packing up and leaving!! dang. :-)

"A música é imortal para mim. É aquela coisa do palco, aquele momento rápido pelo qual você vive. Não dura nada, mas é a razão pela qual se vive." [ Bruce Springsteen ]
...what up homie? i was just thinking, i can't wait until i find a minute to actually come see you play again, instead of just reading about it. i hope things are well, in and out of the studio...
THANKS SO MUCH for accepting our friend request. Come check out the trailer for our feature film NOIR currently in Post. It's SO FUN! wishing you continued creativity and inspiration :)
Hey Sean- It was great to hear you play some classics plugged in to the Telecaster the other night in B Spa. I can't wait to hear the new album.. can we expect the Telecaster to make an appearance on Magic? Also.. I noticed your material is now getting played on last. fm, awesome!
god among men!!! (sound of melodramatic operatic choir performing something by Handel as mere mortals bow down before the acoustic funky majesty) anyway, enough brown-nosing...you're the dogs bollocks, man. dave.
