Sean Gough

A native of the United States, Sean has deep musical roots, going to concerts since age 2, and starting piano lessons at age 8. He has been a professional musician since age 18, best known for his collaboration with veteran bassist Gene Perla, and for accompanying singers, which has included touring, recording, and radio and television appearances, from coast to coast and all the way to Switzerland. Venues where he has appeared in New York include Birdland Theater, Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Smalls Jazz Club, The Kitano, Zinc Bar, The National Arts Club, Jazz Forum Park Concerts, Knickerbocker, Shapeshifter, Metropolitan Playhouse, and Yankee Stadium, Caroline’s on Broadway, The Friars Club, The University Club, and Tavern on the Green.

But wherever that’s been, from dive bars and coffee shops, to concert halls and jazz clubs, from outdoor festivals to churches at the pipe organ, Sean has found that music is at the best of our species and the best of our culture. He shares that with audiences and with students he teaches by internet internationally.
