Overview

Sean's unique approach to performing let's him sound like an acoustic duo! He sings easy-listening pop, rock, and jazz numbers, and can tastily add flute and saxophone in the right spots. His set up is very simple and compact with great sound quality. No background tracks are used, only a magic box called a phrase sampler that enables him to use his multi-instrumental talents. If needed, Sean can also play ambient classical guitar.

"Sean was able to tailor his performance to the crowd, was reliable, conscientious and professional."
-Dawn Elliot, Passenger Service, Supervisor, Polar Bear Express, Ontario Northland, Cochrane.

Entertaining!

We had an intimate dinner house party of 6 guests to celebrate a 45 wedding anniversary. With Sean coming as our featured entertainer we were able to sit in the comfort of our home and listen to the smooth classic sounds of Sean-guitarist with vocals, sax, harmonica and flute. We also danced and occasionally sang along, The "stage" was our loft and, we thoroughly enjoyed our "loft concert". It was not the usual venue for Sean, but we were a truly grateful and appreciative audience. Thanks Sean

Thank you Brenda! It was a fun evening and a pleasure performing in your home. Everyone was quite kind. I enjoyed the piece of cake and appreciated the help loading my car afterwards too,

Guests and Staff Loved Him

We had Sean in for a patio gig at our location. He was very punctual, professional, and had fun with the audience. He played lots of crowd favourites, and had fun takes on some classic songs. Lots of smiles from the crowd. His live looping of guitar, sax, and flute were great fun. Why pay to book a whole band when Sean can do it all. Thanks Sean!

Hi Luke, I really enjoyed performing at the restaurant. I was treated like a king too! Thanks so much for having me.

Solid Musician / Singer

The Black Horse is proud to have Sean as a regular performer. By using a number of different instruments, he is able to create a show that exceeds what you would normally expect from "One Man Band".

What to Expect

Sean sings easy-listening songs drawn from pop, rock, and jazz. He supplies his own compact sound system for small rooms. He also owns a Bose P.A. system for larger rooms or outdoor venues.

Sean uses a nylon string classical guitar, a curved soprano saxophone, a flute, and harmonica to enhance some songs via a looping machine.. The woodwinds give the music variety and interest. Your guests will be intrigued by their sound and seeing him physically manipulate the instruments. Occasionally, he will layer guitar tracks and create percussive sounds.

If there is any point when simple ambient music is needed during the event, Sean can play light instrumental classical guitar.

About

Sean Hully is multi-instrumentalist with a diverse background of performance, recording, and education. He has performed with Carnival Cruise Lines and numerous tribute bands across North America, and has led his own bands, like The Sean Hully Jazz Group. He has played saxophone with jazz and dixieland bands, community musical theatre orchestras, and cover bands that played Latin, R&B, and various sub-genres of rock.

A songwriter and composer, he has three degrees in music studies, including a Licentiate of Music in classical saxophone and a Masters Degree in composition. Sean's first album of original songs (Interaction) was released in 2002 and uses common rock instrumentation.

Since 2015, Sean has developed a unique style with the discreet use of a loop pedal to incorporate flute, saxophone, percussive effects, and guitar leads. The nylon string  guitar has become the bedrock of his style because it blends nicely with the folk, pop, classical, and jazz traditions.

Additional Booking Notes

The important item is access to an electrical outlet. Sean needs an area of about 5 square feet that is free of foot traffic to perform. Must be safe from sun and wet weather conditions.
