Alt-folk songs from the Jersey Shore, written in the grey, the space between certainty and doubt.
Nashville, TN — by way of Monmouth County, New Jersey
Currently Funding
There has never been a label, a manager, or a marketing team. Just Sean, a guitar, his friends in The Boardwalk Fire, and a community that showed up. This fall he heads back to Tractor Shed Studio with engineer Sean Sullivan, who tracked Seasick, to record album number seven, Summer’s End. Goal release: June 2027, completely independent.

What People Are Saying
Sean and his band, the Boardwalk Fire, have the goods to be Asbury’s next national act. Bob Makin, NJ Stage / Aquarian
The real soul of this singer lies in the storytelling of his songcraft. Bill Bodkin, The Pop Break
Playing acoustic music with true ardor and intensity can be a delicate proposition. Neither is the case with the music of Sean Tobin. Rich Quinlan, Jersey Beat
Horns. Bluegrass riffs. Irish trad elements. Screaming electric guitars. Pounding drums. Sean calls it Nashville meets New Jersey, six studio albums in since This Midnight, still writing from what he calls the grey, the space between certainty and doubt.
