Sean Koch

In the organizer's words:

Sean Koch is an indie folk artist living in Cape Town. In his storytelling, feel-good music, he combines African and Western influences with messages of home, connection to nature, the sea and the people around him.

Although rooted in his flowing folk style, his music is diverse. From dance infused songs like "Lift You Up", the standout single from his collection (including the remix by Double MZK & G DOM), to dreamier songs like "Feel the Energy", which carries deeper messages of connection to the natural world and the people surrounding us. There is something for everyone in Sean's catalog.

On stage, Sean has supported acts such as Xavier Rudd (AUS), Milky Chance (DE), Sticky Fingers (AUS), Will & the People (UK), A-ha (Norway) and Mat McHugh / Beautiful Girls (AUS) and performed at renowned festivals (Reeperbahn Festival (DE), Sziget (HG), Pangea (DE), Sound of the Forest (DE)).

Sean has built a strong following in Europe, especially in the GSA territories. In October 2023, he completed his sixth European tour with bandmates Adrian Fowler, Ross Hillier and Dean Bailey, which included several sold-out shows. It was called the "Subtle Affection" tour and was in support of Sean's second album of the same name. This contains a diverse selection of infectious, upbeat melodies and stripped down, very intimate acoustic style songs.

The band is currently hard at work on new material in South Africa and is ready for the European summer and fall concert season!
