August 27, 2013 - Los Angeles, CA - Acclaimed singer-songwriter Sean Rowe has just announced plans to hit the road this fall. In addition to a handful of dates in September with Scud Mountain Boys, Rowe will be hitting the road with label mates The Milk Carton Kids in late October. Sean Rowe is an absolutely riveting live performer who has been converting audiences across the globe with his offbeat charisma and otherworldly voice. He will be performing in support of his extraordinary latest release The Salesman and The Shark out now on Anti.
On his latest release, Rowe follows up his critically heralded debut Magic with a work that brilliantly reconfigures classic sounds with ambitious arrangements – check out how the thundering churn of “Horses” neatly channels Desire-era Dylan – and beautiful songwriting – the duet “Old Shoes” finds Rowe harmonizing with Inara George over an almost unbearably lovely melody. The Salesman and the Shark, is a creative tour de force showcasing Rowe's gifted writing and astonishing, soul-rattling voice. Sean Rowe has a baritone of other worldly power and emotional conviction that demands attention.
“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.” – Wall Street Journal
"Sean Rowe is the most evocative singer-songwriter you’re probably not listening to.” - Boston Globe
“Sean Rowe’s got one of those voices – a real gift. It has this magical sadness to it” – Philadelphia Weekly
“Of all of the great Americana artists to grace the subcultural (and sometimes, even popular) airwaves of recent years, Sean Rowe might be the most ‘authentic’.” – Philthy Mag
