Hello World! Sean McCann was cool before Bernie Sanders landed in a Sea Shanty.
Yes -Sea Shanties were a thing long before YouTube and TikTok.
As a founding member of the Canadian band, Great Big Sea, Sean has had a long musical career. He also has dealt with serious personal issues that he no longer keeps to himself. In fact he recently wrote a book with his wife about their shared struggles- One Good Reason. Sean believes in the power of music, as well as the power of being open with mental health issues. I am glad for Sean and his family that he is STRONGER!
I have been to multiple Great Big Sea concerts. Last month was my first opportunity to see Sean play since the GBS days! Take a listen to Sean performing Sea of No Cares. He also shares what enjoys listening to as well in the video below. As Sean explains Chris Trapper “cowrote” Sea of No Cares. One artist always leads to another, and I discovered Chris when he sang with GBS one evening in Lowell, Massachusetts. If you have been following 603 Melody you may remember that Mr. Trapper was featured in a previous post (insert shameless plug).
My first introduction to Great Big Sea was the song Mari Mac. Maybe the band was playing on PBS; I can’t remember. I do remember loving the tune, and dancing around the living room with my little boy (he is older now than I like to admit- or I would have to be aging too). You couldn’t sit down at a live GBS show either! At one venue I thought the floor was going to give way. To say people were jumping up and down enthusiastically would be an understatement!
This new release by Sean will get your toes tapping too-
