Episode 120: Sean Timms Talks New Southern Empire & Unitopia Albums

Australian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sean Timms has had a charmed 2023 as part of four progressive rock releases this year. His new albums with Unitopia and Southern Empire came out a few weeks apart and have captured a lot of attention among prog rock fans this year. Both albums could end up on several "best of 2023" lists by the end of December. Sean was kind enough to tell me about both albums, as well as his musical background, meeting Steve Hackett, and much more.
