Sean Magwire

    Sean grew up listening to The Beatles on an old tape deck before learning guitar at age 15. Gypsy by nature, he spent his early 20s tumbling around the country, living and performing in multiple states before settling in Chicago. From 2012-2016, Sean was writing, recording, and performing with award-winning Chicago folk act, The Lulabelles. As a member of The Lulabelles, his song “Between the Cracks” won the 2015 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize for Folk. Sean recently placed 3rd in the Rocky Mountain Songwriting Contest and performed at the 2022 Red Lodge Songwriting Festival in Red Lodge, Montana. His song “For the City” was also just named 1 of 3 finalists in the folk category for the 2022 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

    Sean’s songs have been featured on radio and television programs around the world, including PBS, NPR, and ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).

    He has lived in Massachusetts and performed throughout New England since 2016.
