Sean Martin West is a Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and producer who graduated from Berklee College of Music where he was immersed in a tradition of focused music analysis.

The series of singles started as a COVID lockdown project that turned into years of perfectionistic crafting.
Step into the delightful and sultry world of “Lonesome in Green Mountain Falls”, the most recent single from Sean Martin West. West has a golden voice, and he uses it with ease to tantalize our every sense, delivering a delicate and flavorsome Americana treat. “Lonesome in Green Mountain Falls” is an instant classic for fans of Randy Newman and Phosphorescent.
“With Lonesome in Green Mountain Falls, I was particularly inspired by Red Headed Stranger era Willie Nelson, and ’70s Outlaw Country as a whole. I wanted to write a fictional, over-the-top, down-and-out Country song that captured that sound and writing style. The song started by finding a random small town on the Colorado map, a bit west of where I was born and raised. I used that as a setting and tried to have fun with the story,” says West.
