About Emerald Skies
Lyrics first. Always.
Emerald Skies is the independent music project of songwriter Sean Howell, shaped by alternative rock, indie, modern country, and songs that say what people usually leave unsaid.
The music moves through memory, distance, identity, loss, and the choices that divide one part of life from another. Every release begins with the words and grows into its own atmosphere.
Based in Appleton, WisconsinWritten and produced by Sean Howell
