New album “Postcards of the Reckoning” out 11/1/24 Sean Kiely writes and performs music that’s gentle yet stubbornly unusual — full of pivots, compositional left turns, and unexpected choices. His music is impeccably performed and evocative of folk traditions. He is pleasantly uncompromising: friendly and approachable, but sharp-toothed. Attitude hums and hisses in his grooves. His realization of this sound has made him a favorite in his hometown of Jersey City, NJ. Since the release of Your Logo, My Logo (2015) and It Sure Was Good (2018), he's become a regular attraction on local stages large and small. As his reputation has grown, so has his scope — and his curiosity. Kiely’s upcoming “Postcards of the Reckoning” (November 2024) features eight new songs, performed by the singer-songwriter, along with Jared Engel (Tony Trischka), Bill Campbell (Andrew Bird, Chris Morrissey), Maddie Witler (Della Mae), Jean Rohe, Abbie Gardner (Red Molly), Bobby Hawk (Taylor Swift, Clairo), and Elizabeth Ziman (Elizabeth & the Catapult). "Fascinating music ... very unusual, which of course I like" - David Crosby
