Sean Rowe Comes to The CCA As Part Of On The Edge Series

SEAN ROWE will perform in the Spotlight Café at the Capitol Center for the Arts (Concord, NH) on Sunday, March 31 at 7:30pm. This show is part of the CCA's "On the Edge" series, which focuses on up-and-coming national and regional performers. The series is made possible in part by Ron and Stephany Lavallee and Cherylanne Williams.

It wasn't the easiest journey to get to the ten vulnerable songs that comprise New Lore, Rowe's fourth album. It took a label change, a trip to Memphis and some support from unexpected places - but what resulted is a roadmap for a gentle heart in modern times, in a world where the best oracle isn't within a computer, but within ourselves.

Though Rowe has often made his hometown of Troy, New York and its surrounding areas his creative base, New Lore brought a new environment, and a new producer. His sound is at once rich and stark, with a deep and dynamic range. If high notes can shatter windows, Rowe's low and guttural ones can meld sand into glass. Instrumentals are layered carefully and artfully over the vocals, finding footing in his sly and idiosyncratic guitar style.

"My music isn't glossy or shiny," Rowe says. "But it's true."

Tickets for the March 31 SEAN ROWE performance are $15-20, plus any applicable fees for phone/Internet sales. They can be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at ccanh.com.
