Westerly Sound is a cultural production company founded by artist and musician Sean W. Spellman. Drawing on years of programming experience on both coasts, Westerly Sound, along with parallel project Dawnlands, has grown into a full-service curatorial practice that presents both internationally recognized and emerging artists across various venue locations from historic theaters, public parks and cultural institutions to hotels, restaurants and private event locations.
Westerly Sound’s vision is wide, with a consistent commitment to discovery and accessibility, and to the community-building power that music has.
We partner with hospitality groups, cultural institutions, museums, foundations, and individuals to design events that reflect the character of a place and serve to encourage both established and growing arts communities.
Past productions have featured Booker T. Jones, The Walkmen, Mdou Moctar, M. Ward, Hailu Mergia, Billy Bragg, Julian Lage, and Michael Hurley, among many others.
