From Great Big Sea to the Great Big Canadian Road Trip

In this episode of The Radical Fabulatorium, we talk about Séan's journey from fronting one of Canada’s most celebrated bands to life as a solo artist, author, and outspoken advocate for unity and sobriety.

We cover:

  • Leaving the “Great Big Tour Bus” to embrace sobriety

  • Why he only plays theatres now, not bars

  • Music as medicine against division and polarization

  • The raw and joyful versions of “Stronger”

  • Making Shanty Man during lockdown with Hawksley Workman & Gordie Johnson

  • His memoir One Good Reason and the hope it offers

Séan’s Saint John show on Sept 27 is sold out, but you can find his music and book at www.seanmccannsings.com.
