TESTIMONIALS
"Best singer I've seen in a New England bar. Great interaction with the audience."
PATRICK
“After seeing Sean perform in Newport, I hired him for a birthday party in Boston. We needed someone who could deliver a range of music throughout the night, and he more than delivered. He’s a gifted singer and guitarist with a wide-ranging repertoire, but what really sets him apart is his ability to read the room. Sean knows exactly when to dial up the energy and when to pull back, creating the perfect atmosphere for any event. I’ve since hired him for two corporate events including my company’s flagship customer event in New York City and an internal kickoff meeting in Newport—both times, he was a huge hit. He brings heart, talent, and professionalism to every performance—he is a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”

"Far too often local independent artists are unapproachable. They play what they want, when they want and how they want. The audiences are just a series of interchangeable faces coming and going throughout the night. Sean Rivers is different. While his talent and charisma are evident, it's his embracing nature and subtle humor that define him. His set list is eclectic and he genuinely enjoys the fan interaction. He isn't playing for us, he is playing with us. His shows feel more like family, a fireside sing-a-long. That's certainly why most nights are standing room only. We have seen him many times and always seek him out."
KEITH
"Sean Rivers is a bloody brilliant acoustic guitar player whose talent and passion shine through in every performance. This bloke's unique sound and captivating melodies chuffs audiences and a cracking good time is had by all. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a larger event, Sean's music should be everyone's cup of tea."
"QUEEN ELIZABETH II"
"To put it simply, there is nothing that Sean can’t pull off.
His original tunes sound straight out of the late 90s, a testament to the quality of his voice and his musical arrangements: I don’t bat an eye when Spotify plays them along with Hootie & the Blowfish and Everclear.
But Sean’s ability to read a room and the versatility of his voice are what sets him apart. After watching him dominate in Newport, we hired him to work our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome event. There, he played light background music during dinner, assisted with audio for speeches, and absolutely brought the house down during the welcome event, turning a tame reception into a wild party. From Valerie to Fall Out Boy, Sweet Caroline to Shut Up & Dance, Sean delighted our crowd of all ages. Our biggest problem with Sean is that he made it too difficult to end the party.
Whether you’re looking for someone to headline your party, or need some light rock music to jam out to at home, Sean Rivers is your guy. We’re just counting down the days until album #2 and our next trip to Newport to #BeAmongTheLiving"
