Sean Nicholas Savage LIVE Saturday Night
Traversing the spectrum of avant-pop, singer-songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage, renowned for his bittersweet ballads and beautifully raw live performances - performs a mini residency in the intimate setting of 8MM Bar in Seans adopted hometown of Berlin, over two nights - one a Friday night, one a Saturday night. Two different weekend nights, both with their own distinct feelings.
Currently on Tour through Europe to support the release of the critically acclaimed album 'Shine', a record about recapturing the will to live after a period of sadness and stagnancy, and the return to positivity and hope wrapped up in music that adds a sense of rhythmic guitar based folk intimacy to Savage’s hallmark ebullient avant pop. Savage says he was leaning into his “Tatsuro Yamashita and Elliott Smith fandom” for
Shine, a mix that immediately comes through vividly on opener “Feel Like A Child,”
which was the first song he wrote for the record. Shine was recorded in Los Angeles with Savage’s longtime friend Mac DeMarco, who produced the record. “With [2020’s] Life is Crazy, I was delving into the overwhelming emotional experience of life and with Shine, I just wanted to dive in and be more healing,” he says.
Instrumentally, Shine differentiates itself from Savage’s past records through the use of the guitar as the primaryinstrument. While these are not straight ahead folk songs, they do borrow from that genre’s sense of closeness.
