Sean de Burca is a percussive acoustic guitarist from Kent, England, UK. Although he has only been playing guitar for just 7 years, he has already been named as one of the greatest acoustic guitarists under the age of 30 worldwide by Acoustic Guitar Magazine: Sean was selected alongside Ed Sheeran, Newton Faulkner and more in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's '30 Under 30' feature, a selection of 30 of the greatest acoustic guitarists under the age of 30. Sean has also been featured as Acoustic Magazine's 'Next Big Thing'.
"From harmonics to percussive slapping to agile fretboard dancing, this southpaw knows a thing or two about getting the most sound possible out of his guitar. On his three full-length releases on Bandcamp, the self-taught guitarist shows he isn’t afraid of taking risks." - Acoustic Guitar Magazine 2014
Sean performs on average 80 to 100 solo shows a year, this has included shows in America, a performance at the prestigious London Acoustic Guitar Show, Brighton's Great Escape Festival, support slots for U.S guitar innovators Trevor Gordon Hall and Craig D'Andrea, and more festivals and showcases across England. He has even performed to audiences including Jeff Beck and Roger Daltrey.
During 2014, Sean's music was welcomed into the metal music scene. He performed and held a masterclass as the United Kingdom Tech-Metal Fest. Sean and Jon Gomm were the only acoustic acts at the festival. Sean has also performed at Brighton's MammothFest, opening for headliners, Martyr Defiled.
Over the last 3 years Sean has released CDs in HMV (UK stores), gained numerous magazine and newspaper features, and received BBC airplay. The world famous record label, Candyrat Records (who Sean has also provided graphic designs for), have also featured Sean's videos on their highly popular YouTube channel.
Sean's 3rd record, titled “Six String Gun”, released in July 2012 immediately hit the shelves of HMV, as well as various other stores across the United Kingdom and America. During the week of August 13th 2012, “Six String Gun” outsold Lana Del Rey, Florence and the Machine, Maroon 5 and Drake in the weekly sales of a Kent (UK) HMV store. "Six String Gun" was then followed up by Sean's latest CD titled "Stormchaser".
