In Studio: Sean Rowe

Soundcheck | Jan 5, 2011

Sean Rowe recorded spare and intimate songs for his upcoming album in a building where his grandfather once ran an Italian restaurant. His songs found their way into the right hands, and the Albany, N.Y.-based singer-songwriter was signed to the same label as his idol, Tom Waits. Rowe joins us to tell us the story and to perform live in our studio.
