Sean Kiely is a folk musician, mostly acoustic but sometimes not, from Jersey City, NJ. His most recent record "Postcards of the Reckoning" (11/1/24) was named one of the top 10 albums of 2024 by NJ.com and debuted at #15 on the FAI Folk Chart. His lyrics "summon epiphanies and moments of clarity in the middle of storms" and his music chases beauty to unexpected yet inevitable conclusions. A stunning and original guitarist, he is an in-demand local and touring sideperson. Kiely will open for the legendary Richard Thompson in Jersey City in February 2025, has an upcoming live session on WFUV, and was recently recognized by the Jersey City Arts Council and NERFA. No Depression wrote that his debut album "Your Logo, My Logo is one of those sublime and unassuming efforts that sneaks up on you until you find it won’t let go." This is Sean's first time attending SXSW.
