Being a one man show isn’t the easiest job to have; everything starts and stops with you. There is no reason to say: “the drummer wasn’t consistent”, “the guitar player made so many mistakes and it totally threw me off” or “the bass player wasn’t locked in to the groove of the song”. In a band there isn’t one single person that the entire performance relies on. Enter Sean Pinchin. Armed with only an acoustic guitar, slide, and harmonica, Sean’s hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies resonate with his eloquent slide guitar playing. The “less is more” approach has been successful and coupled with songs written from life experiences makes for a stellar debut album. Having been a guitar teacher, working in various music stores as well as bands, it’s no surprise that he’s one of the most talented and hardest working musicians in the GTA.

FOLKLORE, Sean Pinchin (Independent) 
9-out-of-10

In my mind there are a number of truly great folk troubadours in Canada, starting with the likes of Dave Essig and Tim Williams, and Sean Pinchin doesn't so much follow in their footsteps, as he strides out on his own to walk with other great performers of the genre.

November 5, 2007 - Gravelly-voiced Delta blues artist Sean Pinchin will be front and centre when the Mississauga Stars Series debuts Thursday at the Living Arts Centre (LAC).

Pinchin, a Port Credit resident who performs almost exclusively on a lap steel guitar, got his start in the world of music a few years ago when the band he was playing with lost its lead singer to a bad case of wrecked vocals. Pinchin stepped in and gave a masterful performance, and he hasn't looked back.

Lastnight, I was at one of the greatest local music concerts I’ve ever been to at The Central. Maneli Jamal, Sean Pinchin and Robyn Dell’Unto each blew my mind in turn, in their own unique ways.

I’ve actually had the privilege of sharing the stage with both Maneli and Sean in the past on several occasions. When I heard they were playing a show together, I knew it would be good. I’d never heard of Robyn before, but I figured that if Maneli and Sean had decided to play a show with her, she must be good. What an understatement.
