 The Sean Webster Band is a guitar-based four-piece with a fast-growing reputation on the British Blues and rock scene. Founded in June of 2003, theirs is a sound that comprises a sharp sense of song writing and a strong feel for the contemporary blues rock of the current era.
The band is the brainchild of guitarist and vocalist Sean Webster, whose performing career began at the age of fourteen in Nottingham, when, as part of his school band, he played various functions and charity gigs in the city. Later, Sean was part of the band ³Journeymen² and performed commercial blues/rock covers around the country for four years, before forming the band ³Stateside² at the end of the nineties and continuing to gig constantly.
Eventually frustrated simply by playing cover versions, Sean was inspired to start writing his own material a move which led to the formation of The Sean Webster Band, and the current line-up of musicians. Guitarist Mark 'The Saint' Evans joined the band this year. Mark played with Sean for several years in Stateside, and has spent the last two years recording and performing with Amor. Bassist Tom Latham performed and recorded with upcoming Lincolnshire band The Melt, opening shows for Dr.Feelgood, Walter Trout and Amor, among others. The newest addition to the band, drummer Ed Cawthorne has a wealth of experience which belies his youth, having toured Europe and recorded with various bands over the last 7 years.
2004 was a big year for The Sean Webster Band, as they released the debut album ³Long Time Coming². This put the band in the public eye for the first time, and showcased Seanıs fine guitar playing, which combines the influences of Albert Collins, Eric Clapton, Dave Gilmour and Joe Satriani. His vocal style has drawn comparisons with Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams and Jonny Lang.
