Singer/songwriter, Sean Faust is an individual with a vision. His songwriting captures the essence of a fresh kind of approach that reels in it's listeners like a fish unknowingly biting it's bait. He brilliantly crafts songs that can be acoustic rock, new-age and all around progressive at the same time. Sean is known for his live shows, which cannot be considered simple entertainment, but an overall fantastic experience. He is inspired by, "Life, sunsets, big skies and large landscapes," and attributes his musical influences to bands like Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Phish, The Beatles, Live, Rush, Grateful Dead, Yes and many more.
A regular performer at clubs, singer/songwriter friendly bars and even quiet coffee houses, Sean can be seen performing regularly with Slippery When Wet NJ , a premier Bon Jovi tribute band. This band is known to travel extensively in the United States and even Puerto Rico. Playing with Slippery When Wet NJ has opened up different avenues of exposure to a legion of fans who may not have even heard him through other outlets.
Sean Faust is gearing up to release another EP in the new year, with great new studio tunes and live acoustic performance treats.

I'm a music instructor person kinda thingy (guitar and piano/ keyboards). You could say teacher, but I'm not a teacher. Teacher has a positive and negative thing to it. It scares kids. Ha ha. More or less, I'm a friend. A coach.
I'm also a performer. I love writing songs and gigging lots! So.....
First things first, I guess.......
Who I play with and my role
Sean's Solo Shows - Guitar, vocals, kazoo, keyboards, other stuff. It depends on the mood and the songs I hope to play.
SLIPPERY WHEN WET NJ - Keyboards, some acoustic guitar, vocals
LOOK BACK - Acoustic Rock Covers - Acoustic guitar, vocals - Covering everything from The Beatles to Matchbox 20 to Pink Floyd to Stevie Ray Vaughn to.....you get the picture.
