"The Best of Me" - Sean Walsh & Rob jost Live @ sidewalk Cafe, new york, NY:
Hello.
My name is Sean Walsh, I live in a small room in bushwick brooklyn, I grew up the middle of new jersey and spent most of my life except for the two years that I lived in a dusty old apartment in Mission Hill, Boston. I write music and sing because I would be lost without it. I hope you like my music and I hope that maybe it makes your heart a little lighter.
Love,
Sean

Sean Walsh - "Showcase Of the week"
(june 28th, 2006 @ the Laila Lounge)
A mixed salad of sounds that could have been singles from a Calexico B side or maybe a long lost Iron and Wine bootleg, Sean has forged a place in his writing that allows people to get lost in his tunes. This is a good place to be and when he delivered the songs with his heart in the right spot, emotional movement surfaced very clearly in the crowd. Worth another look for sure.

Sean Walsh / American Music
The title is accurate. This is American music. Not entirely country, but this folksy singer/songwriter has a decided melancholy in his voice that goes well with the pedal steel guitar accompanying him and the downward-sloped progressions of his choruses.
For what's a seemingly homemade affair, Walsh has conjured up a rather expansive backing band. Acoustic and electric guitars, upright bass, French horn, piano, wurlitzer, the pedal steel, and several different types of percussion played by a variety of players help to flesh out arrangements and make song like "Life is OK" seem full and complete while Walsh's folk traditionalist, sullen, oberst-esque delivery reassures at the same time it questions.
Involving none of the politics the title might suggest, American Music is instead a deeply personal and rich release, showing marked potential from a capable and self assured young performer.

Sean Walsh: American Music (The Longest Ride Home)
At 20 singer songwriter SeanWalsh is following in the footsteps of writers like Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar and Ryan Adams. Like them he has been able to write quality country influenced music at a very young age. Walshs voice is more along the lines of Ryan Adams then that of other similar artists. The songs are well put together and have all the right elements. From the steel guitars on Float to the soothing harmonica .. this record follows suit with what you would expect from an atl-country release. The quality of this recording is superb and the lyrics are very well structured. Each song flows nicely and each one ties the next in making it a complete album. If there is any critism I would make it would be that this record reminds me of Ryan Adams, which is not a bad thing at all. Sean Walsh is a breath of fresh air for me. I am a huge fan of this style of music and few have been able to pull off the style and feel properly. Walsh has done that and then some, I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys alt-country or just fans of good music.

super news you can play drums with me at the show ! we certainly got lucky with the timing there - i just saw that your tour ends right on the line. i also see that you are going on tour to VA - a fact which makes me very jealous that you get to eat that apple pie and see those folks.
not to much. just working and riding still. i work for a drum company making drums. ita a rad job. its called SJC Custom Drums. but other then that just living.. what about you?
Hey sean, I just wanted to let you know that I am on tour now. And have new songs from an upcoming album on my myspace page worth listening to, and have a bunch of new videos worth checking out on my youtube page http://www. youtube. com/drewdanburry and am on TOUR RIGHT NOW. So if you care, please stop by my page, and if you don't, I still like you and I sincerely hope you are having a great day. But I especially hope you are PUMPED for the new album, and I hope I get to see you out there on the road. Thanks for the time. I'm including a video I think will make your day. Please spread the word and feel free to post bulletins about what I'm up to! Peace! Drew
sean walsh - i agree. it's time to play music again....... whenever i play a show, your drum kitt is often going my head - and then i realize you aren't there. it's getting really weird to be over here so much and not having you guys with me. we urgently need to find a way to amass money in a short space of time to get you over here. i'm back in New York tmw - we need a meeting of music and catch up. big time.
My new single 'Come North' is out now on Leftarm Records, and is taken from the album 'Book of Days' produced by Fran Ashcroft (Gorillaz/Dandy Warhols).
if you guys need anything while you're in cali, let me know. i'm about an hour north of sf in sonoma county. i'd love to help. if you need an opening band, my band, drugstore chemist, would be much obliged.
you are one of my favorites. i listen to your music ALL THE TIME, it just strikes something.
I haven't been to New York in 8 months, so you should come to Missouri so I can see you live. (because it's that easy! just come to this random midwestern state so one girl can see you!) :)
