Music for the borderlands of belonging


Sean_w_guitar.jpg

A Nation of One is “a concise and poignant collection of originals that document a man torn between two countries.”—Susan Gedutis Lindsay, Boston Irish Reporter, November 2007

"Sean Kane’s music closely parallels his unique journey through life.   He has lived in the cities and in the country, in America, and abroad.  Whether fronting a rock & roll band or leading a traditional Irish seisiun, his energy and passion are his hallmark.  With a tenor voice as warm and comforting as it is poignant and compelling, Sean will keep you listening long into the night.   His songs reveal his soul, that of a man searching for truth, self- understanding, and peace.  They will tell a story, but then will skillfully take that observational step back. The language is simplistic and yet evocative, turning commonplace into poetry.  With the backdrop of a man torn between two homes, Sean has created characters and emotions that will be remembered.  Sean’s I must go is my favorite and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if twenty years from now, I’ll hear it in a Dublin seisuin.  Slainte Sean."
--John O'Connor, Blackthorne Tavern
