Antone's Presents: 5 Years and Counting, O Conqueror

Young. Persistent. Driven. Those have been the words to describe Sean MacDonald's "5 Years and Counting" since its birth in August 2007. The single most word that can now be used to describe the life of 5 Years and Counting is PASSIONATE. From recording with the legendary Sylvia Massy-Shivy to touring the nation relentlessly to spread his positive word, he has always been passionate about his music as it's the story of his life, his struggles, heartaches, failures, and all the uplifting experiences on the road and at home that have made him stronger and who he is today.

 Sean has two sides to his art be it his acoustic performances where he strips it down and shows his audience the inner emotional side to his music or when he brings his band along and makes you feel like your watching a band who's ready to play tell their fingers bleed on stage for their fans. Sean's been called a throwback to the great passionate guitarist/singers of back in the day a la Stevie Ray Vaughan but with a new school style. To hear Sean's music is one thing but to see him live is were his true talent lies. Be a part of it. Join the ride and follow him so you can be the FIRST to see what happens next!

O Conqueror is a musical collective from Austin TX set to release their highly anticipated debut album "King Me" produced by David Butler (Suite 709) at SoCo Sound in November 16th. Established in 2011, O Conqueror is already on the rise as an emerging indie artist in the Austin music scene. Founded by Dustin Doering (Guitar/Vox), Jonathan Baugh (Percussion/Keys), Justin Green (Lead Guitar/Multi Instrumentalist) and Tito Sopena (Bass/Back up Vox,) O Conqueror can best be described as "tender," "introspective," and "packed with emotion." In early 2012 O Conqueror had their radio debut on Austin's 93.3 KGSR, and had their live debut at Austin's Pecan Street Festival.
