Ghost of the Arcade features ten songs and one interlude that tell tales like a written collection of short stories. Tobin’s proficiency in prose and poetry draws parallels to the likes of Steinbeck and Hemingway. His affinity for Americana is almost as obvious as the ever-present Springsteen shadow. “The best and worst advice I ever received was to stop ‘writing cool,’” said Tobin. “I took that and ran with it, and I think I’ve found the perfect middle ground. Somewhere between romance and reality.”
Sean Tobin and the Boardwalk Fire will continue to tour the US through the summer, with current release shows scheduled in New Hope, PA, Jersey City, NJ, and of course, Asbury Park. As they make their way down the road, they’ll bring a little bit of New Jersey grit to every stage they haunt. Ghost of the Arcade, is available on all streaming platforms now.
