SEAN WEBSTER

printable biog page 1

Sean Webster and his band is a guitar-based 4 piece band with a fast-growing reputation on the British blues and rock scene. Founded in June of 2003, theirs is a sound that compromises a sharp sense of song writing and a strong feel for the contemporary blues rock of the current era.

The band is the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Sean Webster, whose performing career began at the age of fourteen in Nottingham, when, as part of his school band, he played various functions and charity gigs in the city. Later, Sean was part of the band "journeymen" and performed commercial blues/rock covers around the country for four years, before forming the band "stateside" at the end of the nineties and continuing to gig constantly.

Eventually frustrated simply by playing cover versions, Sean was inspired to start writing his own material - a move which led to the formation of the Band, and the current line-up of musicians.

2004 was a big year for Sean Webster as they released the debut album "Long Time Coming". This put the band on the public eye for the first time. and showcased Sean's fine guitar playing, which combines the influences of Albert Collins, Eric Clapton, Gilmour and Joe Satriani His vocal style has drawn comparisons with Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams and Johnny Lang.

Britain's leading Blues magazine "Blue Matters!" has described the debut album as "A real gem", concluding that the band was:

"set for big stages and superb guitar work. They'll soon be busting out of the Nottingham area now Sean has got his writing shoes on."

Indeed, the brand new Webster-penned track "Hero" is included on a Blues Masters Compilation Disc.

"Long Time Coming" is now on general release on the BM! record label and this will see the band embark on a string of live dates around the UK. Having already made an impressive appearance at the prestigious Great Britain R&B festival in Colne in August 2004, and opended shows for the artists such as Pat Travers, Sean Webster and his band are set to build on their successful early years and take the UK scene by storm.
