Sean Cleland is a 3-time Na Hoku award-winning recording artist and performer based out of Honolulu, Hawai’i.  Beyond his full band studio recordings, he regularly performs as a one-man looping experience, layering all the elements of a song (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, vocals) in a single performance.  Blending together a hooky pop-songwriting aesthetic with the raw emotion of his electric guitar, Sean traverses and synthesizes the frenetic passion of rock and blues with the sultry sounds of r&b, jazz, and soul.

FAQs

What is Sean's set like?

Sean's solo performance features a completely live (zero pre-recorded material) looping performance of vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, and sampled drums.  He offers a fuller sounding experience than a single performer with just an acoustic guitar.  Within one song, you will hear singing, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, bass guitar, and drums (and Sean's hourly rate is much more affordable than a comparable trio, quartet, or quintet).  Sean can play a selection of covers and originals.
