Podcast #114 with Diane DiMemmo
June 10, 2022
Asbury Park vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Sean Tobin stopped by the APV Studio recently to chat about his brand-new album Ghost of the Arcade which was released today, June 10th! This extremely talented artist, along with his band The Boardwalk Fire, are local favorites here who leave dedicated fans in the wake of every show that they play. Their signature Americana/Folk-Rock sound and lyrical storytelling will transport and elevate you to a higher plane.
Ghost of the Arcade is the band’s sophomore album and its songs display Sean’s magnificent growth as a lyricist and musician who dug deep within himself to produce his most authentic sound. After receiving advice to “stop trying to write cool,” Sean discovered that his most unique gift is as a storyteller who is able to uplift his stories with brilliant music.
During our discussion Sean gives insight and background on some of the album's singles - "Quiet Boy" and "Ghost Of The Arcade," and plays my favorite tune "The Corner Of Sunset." We also visited topics like the importance of living in the present moment, following your true path, and everything that goes into the creation and promotion of an album.
Mark your calendars to catch Sean Tobin & The Boardwalk Fire on their upcoming "Ghost of the Arcade" tour which will take them through NJ, PA, IL, KY, and end in Nashville, TN! And make sure to stream Ghost of the Arcade today, because this masterpiece is going to propel Asbury Park's favorite artist into the national spotlight!
