Biography:

If there is one thing you must know about Sean Gill it’s that his
thirst for the intricacies of music is never ending. Yet it’s the
simplicity of his music that brings the listener in. Armed with only
an acoustic guitar, Sean is able to bring every aspect out of the
instrument from the percussive way he hammers the string to provide
the beat to the elegant phrasing of his melodies. One of Sean’s
passions is traveling and you feel every footstep, every mile crossed
in the matter of minutes throughout his albums. It truly is the
perfect music with which to relax and enjoy the ride.

His musical passion began as most teenage boys do,
falling in love with the guitar licks of Joe Satriani and Yngwie
Malmsteen. In the pursuit of his passion, Sean found himself studying
Jazz and Classical Guitar under the likes of jazz guitarist Don Linke
and composer John Downey at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Sean has travelled the back roads, the blue highways, for inspiration from the places and people he finds on the way. His wanderlust has led him to move from Milwaukee to Denver, and most recently to Springfield, Oregon. An ideal locale for a wanderer, a few hours or less from the ocean and the mountains.

His time at UWM cultivated the amazing guitar stylings Sean uses
today. Sean has released four acoustic instrumental guitar albums, one electric guitar album, and one collection of classical and experimental works. Sean has also released four albums with Progressive Rock band Strange Land.
Each album displays the constant quest for storytelling through song.
His love of the road gives each album the touch required
to transform the listener on his journey through America.
