What to expect

Skilled and versatile singer/songwriter who is able to provide an entertaining set of music. I am able to modify my set lists based on your needs. I can do straight instrumental background music all the way to a fully-engaged performance.

About

2015 John Lennon Songwriting Contest grand prize winner!

Crafting catchy folk/pop melodies with meaningful lyrics, Sean Magwire has forged a unique brand of songwriting. A native of Angola, Indiana, Sean grew up listening to the classics on an old tape deck before learning guitar at age 15. He cut his teeth playing the Omaha scene for four years and has spent the past five years in Chicago, most recently forming the award-winning folk band, The Lulabelles.

Newly relocated to the Boston area, Sean is excited to continue his music career on the East Coast.

With a variety of set lists ranging from Top-40 covers to all original music, Sean can cater to the specific needs of each event.

Additional booking notes

I have a small PA that I can bring if you do not have a sound setup. All I need is a power source.

If you are providing a sound system, I need:

1 input for guitar
1 input for vocal
