Self-Portrait: Sean Thompson

Artwork by Mickey Miles

For our Self-Portrait series, we invite our favorite musicians to create an audio depiction of themselves through songs from the past and present.

Southern-style fretboard virtuoso Sean Thompson picked and grinned his way through his tremendous Weird Ears debut out on the groovy West Coast country rock label Curation Records. The Nashville lifer has now gathered a heap of tunes that spans grassy acoustic rags, minty jazz numbers, and deep nugs of pickled psychedelia.
