The Paper Prince

Sean Robert Jones/The Paper Prince is a folk singer-songwriter based out of upstate New York. Shaped by a barren, working class environment with brutal winters, his music stretches the bounds of genre, pushing folk to the point of fracture and reflecting the heartbreaking wistfulness of his surroundings. He utilizes experimental harmonic structures, as well as complex instrumental arrangements, which aid in the delivery of parable-driven lyrical imagery. Sean draws not only from the realm of classical music, but also from the compositional prowess of songwriters including: Leonard Cohen, Glen Hansard, Jason Molina, and Jeff Buckley.
