Joana <3´s Sean Riley and The Slowriders
I do not remember when or how I started listening to Sean Riley and the Slowriders … it’s strange because my musical memory is quite vivid, but it was easy to find the answer … the empathy I felt for this band was so instantaneous that the music has consumed me completely. It was like a summer breeze that still last in winter time.
Sean Riley & The Slowriders are my “Roadtrips” Soundtrack. They have a special meaning when me and the boyfriend get on the car like two free spirits driving without a route … two free souls that just found their matching soundtrack.
With an unique and unmistakable voice, Sean Riley (Afonso Rodrigues - Voice, Guitar, Harmonica, Organ) and the Slowriders, Bruno Simoes - Bass, Guitar, Melodica, Filipe Costa - Organ, Piano, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Harmonica, Filipe Rocha - Drums, Upright Bass, Glockenspiel, gave rise to thisproject that already has two albums out.
The album - “Only Time Will Tell” features 12 songs, a few of the numerous compositions presented to the Slowriders by Sean Riley during pre-production”.
Their Music, make me travel in a dream land of Folk sounds that remind me of Bob Dylan but above of all it just match with my person and personality, heart and dreams. Lyrics like … “Pretty girlcan´t you see, they’ll never be free … Well pretty girl can´t you see They’ll never be us “ andmessages like: ”your home is WHERE your heart is” are strong and bring me down to earth and nature in this digital world we live. Sean Riley and the Slowriders bring back the old good sounds,give color to life and call for summer festivals.
