Sean Koch is a Cape Town based indie-folk artist who brings a mixed bag of African and western influence alongside messages of home, a connection to nature, the ocean and the people around him; to his story telling, feel-good music.
While rooted in his flowing-folk style, his music is diverse. From dance infused songs like ‘LiftYou Up’ the standout single from his collection (including the Double MZK & G DOM remix)to the dreamier songs like ‘Feel the Energy’ that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us. There is something for everyone in Sean’s catalogue.
On the stage, Sean has supported acts such as Sticky Fingers (AUS), Milky Chance (DE),Xavier Rudd (AUS) Will & the People (UK), A-ha (Norway) and Mat McCugh/Beautiful Girls (AUS) and Jeremy Loops (ZA). He has also graced internationally recognised festival line-ups,including Boarmasters Festival (UK), Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Szieget Festival (HG), PangeaFestival (DE) and a headline performance at Surfana Festival (NL).
Sean has built a strong following in Europe, particularly is GSA territories. In October 2022he completed his fifth European tour alongside band mates Adrian Fowler and Ross Hillier,which featured multiple sold out performances. Dubbed the ‘Subtle Affection’ tour, it was run in support of Sean’s second full-length album, of the same title, which features a diverse range of foot tapping upbeat tunes and stripped down, very intimate acoustic style songs.
The band are hard at work back in South Africa, performing select shows while working inthe studio; writing and recording Sean’s next5 track EP set to be released just before the EU summer where they will be visiting Europe again for a quick visit in a few new territoriesbefore coming back for his EU / UK tour taking place towards the end of 2024!
