The Musician
Meet Sean Tobin, the next musician you'll be raving about. Born and raised at the Jersey shore, Sean was influenced by folk-song troubadours like Guy Clark, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson, as well as high-energy rockers like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, and Tom Petty.
Sean is self-taught in the the New Jersey bar scene and during his time spent busking on the streets of Galway, Ireland. It's no wonder he quickly gained a loyal following.
In 2017, Sean graduated college with a degree in writing. Although he expected to become a novelist, his business as a musician soon began to overshadow his prose. Uncertain of his future, Sean walked El Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile trail through Spain, with his guitar strapped to his back.
In July of 2019, Sean released 'Dreams & Black Caffeine,’ a four-song EP recorded in Ocean, NJ with his band, The Boardwalk Fire. Sean and the guys later produced nearly a dozen singles, which led to the compilation album, ‘East Coast Artifacts.’

If you ask us, Sean embodies the Very American Dream. His lyrics and vocals unite the room on a dance floor. His charisma and kind heart are tangible at every show. Sean is becoming the very inspiration he discovered in his own influencers.
