The Only Living Boy In New York

Ex-‪Rockapella‬ star Sean Altman is "tuneful and sharply witty" (Los Angeles Times), "relentlessly clever" (Chicago Tribune) and "bawdy with a wicked modern streak" (Washington Post), with "hilarious pleasures" (The New Yorker) that combine "the tunefulness of ‪the Beatles‬ and the spot-on wit of ‪Tom Lehrer‬" (Boston Globe) with a “silky tenor voice that produced chills” (New York Times).  

Altman, “a terrific singer and a songwriter with an ear equally attuned to comic satire and the power of pop music” (The New Yorker), is a former, founding member of Rockapella and led that pioneering vocal group through its heyday years on the Emmy-winning PBS-TV series, Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, for which Altman co-wrote the famous theme song. 

Sean has shared concert stages with ‪Billy Joel‬, ‪Steve Miller‬, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Jay Leno, and ‪Joey Ramone‬, and he has recorded with artists as diverse as Steve Miller, XTC, ‪John Cale‬, ‪Richie Havens‬ and ‪They Might Be Giants‬.  Altman currently records and performs acapella with The GrooveBarbers, original pop songs on guitar as a solo artist, original comedy songs as JEWMONGOUS, and in two touring tribute acts: The Everly Set and Forever Simon & Garfunkel.
