Sean Bruce is an indie folk artist from Lafayette, LA. At age 19, he resigned from the School of Music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to pursuit songwriting and begin touring. Bruce’s early stab at intricate songwriting has won him a fan base across the region.

Sean released his debut album Daytime Hopes in April 2011. “I didn’t really have many songs when I quit school. I just felt like this was something that I wanted to do and it was the only time to do it. So, I started writing.” Since, he has toured across the southern region of the U.S. playing festivals, venues, coffee shops, and house concerts. In 2012, Sean was invited to play About.com’s “Best World Music Festival”, Festival International de Louisiane. Two weeks prior, he earned a spot on the BMI Songwriter’s Stage at French Quarter Festival in New Orleans.

His musical influences include legends such as Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. He combines these melodic influences with the styles of writers like Ray Bradbury and Robert Frost. Armed with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, Bruce has a great ability to combine story and song, which has garnered credit from Grammy Award winning songwriter, David Egan:”This is truly inspired, brilliant and beautiful.“

As an independent artist, his main focus is building a community. His personable presence on and off stage creates a genuine relationship with his audience that seems to be the knot that ties together his fan base. “I believe that all art thrives only through community. Giving is something that’ll always give back.” That, he plans to do.

Sean is still writing. Still booking. Still searching. He has a new catalog of songs that he plans to record in 2013.
