The Gig Cartel - Artist profiles: Sean Rowe

Sean Rowe is an American singer-songwriter, musician, recording artist, and avid forager whose music carries a raw power and emotional depth that commands attention. NPR’s All Songs Considered praised his remarkable voice, saying, “He can just crush granite with that voice. It’s so powerful.” The Wall Street Journal echoed this sentiment, calling his ringing baritone “as timeless as his approach, recalling the ecstatic intensity of late-’60s Van Morrison and the stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash.”

Across his career, Rowe has released five full-length albums and several EPs, building a body of work that resonates with authenticity and soul. His music has been featured extensively in film and television, with standout placements in NBC’s acclaimed dramas The Blacklist and Parenthood. His song “To Leave Something Behind” found a particularly powerful moment as one of only two non-score tracks featured in Ben Affleck’s 2016 film The Accountant, where it underscored the film’s final scene. Since then, the track has garnered more than 17 million streams on Spotify, solidifying its place as one of Rowe’s most enduring works.
