A Nice Night with Sean Kiely & Friends
Join local singer-songwriter Sean Kiely each Third Thursday for a NICE night of unexpected variety, music, fun, & feelings. Every month will feature a set of music by a guest artist, a performance by an artist from another medium (comedy, poetry, or more), and a set of music by Sean and his collaborators. Who knows who might show up to sit in.
Sean Kiely is one of Jersey City’s most exciting and original singer-songwriters. His music contemplates the world with a keen eye and an ear for unusual and compelling beauty. He has released several acclaimed recordings under his own name, in addition to being an in-demand guitarist and singer on the local bluegrass scene and producer for other artists. He is often joined on stage by the area’s finest progressive folk-leaning musicians. David Crosby once said of his 2018 EP It Sure Was Good: “Fascinating music ... Very unusual, which of course I like.” WEB: seankielymusic.com SOCIAL: instagram.com/sean0sean
