 The man was born to entertain. Sean made his recording debut in 1990 with his band, Joyful Noise and the cassette, ‘Babbling About Bob’ but it was as frontman for both DRIVE followed by THE PLANKS that Sean’s energy and creativity on the St. John\u2019s live circuit exploded. His brilliant solo debut, \u201cLotus Land\u201d revved up the new millennium when it debuted in August of 2000 and 4 more albums of original songs culminating with \u201cMan Of The Year\u201d in Dec. 2011 cemented his importance as a truly unique singer\/songwriter respected, admired and quite simply adored here at home by fans and peers alike. As a solo performer he is dynamic and absolutely compelling. Whether you\u2019ve seen him perform at pubs like The Ship or annually at the Feast Of Cohen or anywhere else along the road you know that his incredible energy and many and varied subjects in song are all-consuming. Lyrically, Sean is by and large a \u2018stream-of- consciousness \u2018 artist. He finds a place to start, goes where it leads, allows the light to shine wherever it does and stays out of the way. He seems to possess the uninhibited nature of a child as pertains to his subject\/muse correlation; the thoughts churn and the line dictates. And his robust guitar stylings\u2026 sure you knows he can go.
\nI\u2019ve often likened Sean\u2019s work to that of Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Louden Wainwright III, Randy Newman and Ray Davies (Kinks). One can also hear likely influences from Dog Meat Barbeque, Ramones and perhaps Pixies.<\/span><\/p>\n
