Sean Nicholas Savage

On 13 May 2026, Sean Nicholas Savage will perform at the venue Neue Zukunft in Berlin. Born in Edmonton and rooted in Montréal, the songwriter is part of the independent scene around Arbutus Records and has been exploring an intimate, slightly lo‑fi‑tinged strand of pop since the late 2000s. His songs reshape New Romantic pop into his own forms and incorporate sophisti‑pop, soft rock, subtle R&B touches, airy disco and folky ballads. He has refined this blend across numerous full‑length albums — from Other Life, Bermuda Waterfall and Other Death to Yummycoma and Life Is Crazy. In 2022 he released Shine, produced by Mac DeMarco, with clear city‑pop nuances; in 2024 Trilogy collected distinctive tracks from his early years, and in 2025 The Knowing explored a crystalline, high‑resolution pop sound. On stage, Savage prefers stripped‑down setups, solo or with a small accompaniment — with a focus on melody, voice and a direct storytelling approach.
