Artist History I met a girl who taught me that she was everything in a round about sort of way....a good catch to say the least. Isn't that how it is? Now, put it in a song and it takes on life of it's own. Put it in real life and you'll find that it's better put back in the song. Life's funny. Everything you'd expect leaves you with things you'd never expect. People are strange....and they change. It's not a bad thing, but bad things sometimes happen because of it. Go figure? My name's Sean. I'm a singer and a guitar player.....in that order. Used to be the other way around, but I had to make a decision so I did. I write stuff. mostly songs, but sometimes stuff like this. It may confuse some people, or bother others, but I really don't give a damn because if you've gotten this far, you're probably not confused or bothered, but quite possibly interested or you may just happen to spend way too much time thinking just like I do. K, back to the songs & music.....because that's really what this is all about. I once rehearsed with a band (once) that wanted to write original music. I sang. The entire thing ended for me when someone sneered at the fact that I used the word "love" in a song that I had scribbled down during a 10 minute break while the rest of the "band" went out and got stoned. Now I write what I want and you aren't likely to hear it until it's in a semi-finished state.....I like it that way. But once it gets to that point I'm usually pretty excited to share it. Of course, I was told when I was a kid by my teachers that I didn't accept self-criticism......still working on that. What else? Hmmm.....well, my parents are from New York. Spent some time as a kid doing that thing. Grew up in Vermont near Canada (right near) with 4 sisters & my brother. Had two options, hang out on the street corner in a small town or.....wait, that was it. I chose instead to teach myself guitar in my bedroom while listening to one of my sisters tell me how much I sucked. She's since hired me and/or bands I’ve been in on numerous occasions. I've shared stages recently with artists & bands like Gary Cherone (Extreme, Van Halen), Brian Vander Ark (The Verve Pipe), David Gates (Bread), O-Town, Larry The Cable Guy and a bunch of others, but I'm just trying to give you an idea. Before this solo thing, I did the band thing.....lead guitarist, backup singer. That's enough about that. I’ve received endorsement deals with Ovation, Takamine & Hamer Guitars & most recently, a major sponsorship with Molson Canadian. Currently, I’m performing throughout New England in support of my latest CD release entitled “July.” Oh yeah, I have a habit of just leaving some of my writings unfinished.

Press Reviews "Songs fronted by jangling acoustic strings dwell in the valley of modern radio rock, right next door to Matchbox 20 Island. Highly prepared, ready-for-heavy-radio-rotation songs also display the talents of a raspy-voiced lead singer." -Kali Holloway, Listen.com *Boston area radio station WXKS - KISS 108 FM, featured "Goodbye" in their "New Music Spotlight" on Monday, February 14th! A BIG thanks to Skip Kelly & David Corey! Skip is your 10pm - 2am DJ Monday through Friday & Sundays from 12pm - 4pm, David is the station's music director. How did the song do? Well, Skip took calls & emails for about a half an hour after to get some response & the word is (was), 100% on the phones & 100% on the emails! (That's a good thing!)
