Sean Koch (SA)
Sean Koch is a Cape Town based indie-folk artist who brings a mixed bag of African and Western influence alongside messages of home, a connection to nature, the ocean and the people around him; to his storytelling, feel-good music. While rooted in his flowing-folk style, his music is diverse. From dance-infused songs like ‘Lift You Up’ the standout single from his collection to the dreamier songs like ‘Feel the Energy’ that carry deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people that surround us.
On the stage, Sean has supported acts such as Sticky Fingers (AUS), Will & the People (UK) and Mat McCugh/Beautiful Girls (AUS). He has also graced internationally recognised festival line-ups, including Boarmasters Festival (UK), Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Sziget Festival (HG), MadNes Festival (NET) and Surfana Festival (NL).
In July 2023 he completed his sixth European tour alongside bandmates Adrian Fowler and Ross Hillier, which featured multiple sold-out performances. Dubbed the ‘Subtle Affection’ tour, it was run in support of Sean’s second full-length album, of the same title, which features a diverse range of foot-tapping upbeat tunes and stripped-down, very intimate acoustic style songs.
