SUMMARY:Sean Rowe w/Girl Blue
DESCRIPTION:Doors open at 8pm\, show at 8:30pm 21+ Advance tickets are available in person at Boo Boo Record Store in SLO or print-at-home/mobile tickets can be found online at Ticketfly.com by clicking: HERE. All tickets are general admission. The Siren is a small\, intimate club style venue and seating is limited and first come first served and is dictated by estimated show sales. \n\nUpstate New Yorker\, with new album ‘Madman\,’ brings a rare pitch to modern pop \nSean Rowe knows he cuts an imposing figure. He boasts a bouncer’s build\, a biker’s hair and a voice lower than Johnny Cash with a head cold. \n“It can be intense\,” he says\, with a laugh. \nSo imagine that one day a guy like this shows up at your house to perform. That’s what’s been happening periodically over the last year\, while Rowe has been on a promotional “house tour.” Conceived in the retro-trendy troubadour tradition\, the tour found Rowe reaching out to fans through Facebook to play free shows in their living rooms. \n“It can be awkward for invited friends or family members who don’t know me\,” the singer says. “Suddenly\, this hairy\, bearded dude shows up and starts playing. And I don’t water down my songs for these shows at all.” \nThe intimacy and rarity of Rowe’s songs can prove jarring or entrancing\, depending on your point of view. Either way\, they’ve been getting him a lot of attention. He deserves even more for his new album\, “Madman\,” which widens his sound significantly. Its songs will be front and center at Rowe’s show Friday 7 p.m. at Rockwood Music Hall. \nThe first thing listeners will notice about Rowe is his vocal pitch. He’s a baritone — a rarity outside of country music. The voice isn’t just deep in register\, but also in character. Like the best baritones\, Rowe can sound sinister or sexy\, sage-like or sweet. \nPart of his depth has to do with age. Though the upstate New York-based singer didn’t release an album until 2011\, he’s staring down the barrel at 40. \nRowe thinks that’s an advantage. “When you’re young\, you have issues\,” he says. “Being older\, you’re wiser about your next move.” \nThe singer didn’t land a significant recording contract until he was 36. He signed with the boutique Anti Records\, which issued the “Magic” LP\, recorded by Rowe on his own. The home approach explains that album’s stripped-down brand of art-folk. You could hear the woody rattle of his acoustic guitar’s surface\, the waxiness of its nylon strings and the reverberations of its hollow body.\nSean Rowe didn’t have a significant record contract until her was 36. Anthony Saint James Sean Rowe didn’t have a significant record contract until her was 36. \nRowe’s lyrics paid special attention to nature\, drawn from his youth in Troy\, N.Y. “I grew up in the woods\, foraging or catching snakes\,” he says. “I loved it.” \nRowe used that love for one of his day jobs before he got his break. He worked with kids in after-school programs about music and nature. He also had some terrible jobs. “I put the liners inside the caps of medical test tubes for eight hours a day\,” he says. “I lasted three days.” \nMeanwhile\, Rowe played local bars\, honing his sound. After recording “Magic\,” the singer quickly set about making another. This time he had enough of a budget to pay session musicians. The result\, “The Salesman and the Shark” (2012)\, added exotic instruments\, like a string octet (for a touch of chamber folk)\, a Casiotone (for some 1980s synth touches) and a vibraphone. Female backup singers gave the songs a hint of Leonard Cohen\, already evoked by Rowe’s gravelly voice and poetic lyrics.
