Mastwyk’s love for country music is loud and proud, REAL country music. that goes way back. Back to the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, back to AM radio, back to Nudie suits, back to the Appalachian mountains, back to Las Vegas weddings, back to when The Rolling Stones met Gram Parsons, back to the Joshua Tree Inn back to names like Willie, Waylon, Townes and Dolly, first names so tall in the lexicon of country music that surnames aren’t necessary to identify them.

Poet. Playwright. Marriage Celebrant. DJ. Functioning melancholic. 

Over the past decade, Melbourne artist Sean McMahon has honed his own unique voice with a poetic, melodic style of songwriting, weaving vivid storytelling, confessional narratives and lyrical beauty with elements of folk and vintage west coast tinged alt-country.  On his stunning new LP ‘You Will Know When You’re There’  McMahon has distilled his influences into an exceptional selection of songs delivered with a generously characterful voice capable of rich nuance, quiet power and that most desirable quality of all: believability. 
There’s a captivating intimacy and authenticity to his music that sets him apart as a truly outstanding voice.  From the stark confession of lively openers ‘One Foot Out The Door’ and ‘Angel At Your Back’s
reflections of ‘Waiting For My Man’, to the sheer intimacy of ‘Outsider Blues’ or ‘Just For An Hour’,
McMahon brings a quiet yet commanding authority to this record.
Amid wry and poignant observational lyricism lies the utter timbre of McMahon’s voice; a gentle ache that coaxes
delicate, earworm-like melodies in a way thats wholly believable and moving.
Recorded with Roger Bergodaz over several sessions at Union Street Studios, the album features a fine cast of
Melbourne talent including vocals from Broads’ Kelly Day and fellow Blind Date artist Freya Josephine Hollick.
Uncluttered and focused in its arrangement, this is a confident record that ebbs and flows lightly, yet displays
immense character and weight with each pressing moment.

"The depth and sophistication of McMahon’s songwriting is really what comes to the fore on this record"…Rhythms
"Some songwriters have the uncanny ability of building an affinity with their 
listeners within seconds.  Sean McMahon is one of these artists.”
