Sean Waters Duo
2025-12-20 18:00 - 20:30
Sean Waters creates a feel-good mix of folk, soul, and americana inspired from his musical roots and experience teaching philosophy and composition at Colorado State University. Now 37, Waters has been writing, singing, and performing since 2002 with regional bands Wasabi and the Seers. In early 2019, Waters caught his first break after sharing demos with L.A.-based producer Justin Andres (Eric Burdon and the Animals, Little Monarch). His first single, “Easy Graces,” an indie-rock spin on the star-crossed lover tale, features the unassuming vocal ease of Beck or Ben Harper, and the pop sensibility of Coldplay.
Sean has appeared at the Colorado Showcase at SXSW, The Colorado Brewers’ Festival, First Night Fest, Fortoberfest, and other events across the front range. In local press, Sean has been called a “skillful, entertaining and soulful performer, ” “entertaining and engaging,” “enjoyable,” and “hard-working.” He’s on Instagram at @seanwaters_ and on Faceook as @SwanWaters.
