This record was a shot in the dark. In a very real sense you would not be hearing these songs without the people who pulled them out of me. Endless love and thank you to my family: Christina, Olivia and Jack. You would also not be hearing these particular recordings like this if it had not been for my hardcore fans who believed in me enough to get this album funded with 100% donations. Much thanks to my executive producers: Carol Schrader, Gillian Williams, Dawid Podsiadlo and Josh Bennett. Thanks to all of my kickstarter pledgers who made this album happen. Also Thank you to our second family in Pittsburgh Kim & Steven Foxbury, Matt Dayak, Dan Rugh and the rest of the gang at Common Wealth Press. Thanks to Leah Demo for letting me use her apartment to write these songs. Thanks to my long time manager Jon Sidel who finally got paid! And a big fat hug to my co-producer Matt Ross-Spang for his Wonka-like skills in the studio and for taking me to all the best BBQ in Memphis!
Bro, I think this was the first time I teared up at a Ben Affleck movie. Haha! Thanks to you motherfucker. So, so excited and weirdly proud? As a friend, so strange to sit there in the dark movie theater and hear you singing, that voice that I’m so used to hearing close by my side on stage when we’re battling that crowd. And hearing it in the closing scene of something so foreign, someone so distant as Ben Affleck. I almost started standing up and yelling like I was at a show. Only the lights were out and the people around me would have been scared and I’d probably get kicked out. So I just kind of cuddled into a rock position and smiled at Ben like a man at a family reunion who is looking at distant relatives, singing along to the all the last names that brought him to that moment.
I watched your scene in the same theater in ATL where I snuck into Thelma and Louis, lost my wits as a kid watching Gina Davis have sex and fly off a cliff. Same theater that I bought myself a matinee and switched movie to movie, year to year chewing on Milk Duds with Dinero in Backdraft to Another 48 Hours, to Short Circuit to Top Gun......I can name a hundred movies in that theater I experienced.....and finally your movie.
Congratulations brother!!! It was probably my favorite that I’ve ever seen at the Midtown
Theater. And in a strange way I felt like I got to be a part of it.
I hope you and the family are fantastic. Let’s catch up soon.
Love, Rex

The Darkness Dressed in Colored Lights was produced by Rowe’s friend and longtime collaborator Troy Pohl.
The studio Hive in Eau Claire, Wisconsin was chosen so that they could work with the Grammy-winning engineer, Brian Joseph (Bon Iver) and for its proximity to a group of musicians that Sean came to admire while listening to Anna Tivel’s, The Question, in his manager’s basement studio.
