I live in Minneapolis, and first saw Sean by chance at Blues on The Range in Chisolm, Minnesota, probably 2000. The tightest band I had seen in a long time. What was coming out of this kid was incredible. My wife and I were hooked. We saw him again up close at a bar later that night, and they were even better. We bought "Call the Cops", and "Cuttin In" and got into every song. I later ventured up to Superior, Wisconsin to see the band in the dead of winter. I took a friend, who hadn't seen Sean, and neither of us could believe this tremendous band was in a van, traveling to Superior, Wisconsin. There weren't many people at the place, but those of us who were there, were sharing something special. We talked to the guys between sets, and they were all great. I also took the family to Bayfront Bluesfest in Duluth, MN. Sean was not the marquee name at the fest, but many of us there thought he stole the show. I always checked out his website, and purchased "Moanin' for Molasses" and his self-titled albums, and loved them both. By this time I turned my teenage daughter onto Sean. He stopped coming to the land of 10,000 lakes, much to my dismay. In February, I picked up his last album with much anticipation, and was not dissapointed. I always thought he could blend the perfect amount of soul, funk, and blues, like no other. I could not believe it when I made my weekly check of his website, and found out about his passing. Too much talent gone too early. I didn't know Sean personally, like many of you. Those of you who did, I hope you realize how lucky you were to be around such a gifted kid. Sean, your music will live on up here in the Northland.
