Séan McCann is a musician, author and mental health advocate. For 20 years, he was a member of the hit celtic-rock folk group Great Big Sea (which he co-founded). Since that group's disbandment, he has carved out a successful solo career. But for Séan, there was always a bigger life goal than album sales - sobriety. It has been seven years since his recovery journey started and he has released four records, a book, and tours with what he calls "musical keynotes", where he merges speaking with song and talks about his own mental health advocacy and journey with addiction. His latest album is Shantyman, a re-imagining of classic maritime Sea Shanties. It is available through his website seanmccannsings.com. Also, he shares his thoughts on coping throughout the pandemic and that sea shanty TikTok Trend.
