Brunch with Sean McCann

Lisa Tiffin

Heritage Inn and Convention Centre

Séan McCann will be performing “One Good Reason: A Story of Addiction, Recovery, Music and Love” to help educate people about addiction and share his story.Originally from Gull Island, Newfoundland, Séan and Great Big Sea played their first official gig in 1993 and the years that followed were full of performances, album releases, awards, filming DVDs, touring and all the excitement that comes with being in a rock band. But for Séan, he was dealing with demons and inner turmoil resulting from childhood sexual abuse by a priest. He used drinking to numb the pain and avoid facing his truth. After 20 years with Great Big Sea, Séan announced, much to the surprise of his fans and bandmates, that he would be leaving the band. This difficult decision was part of an overall attempt to make changes in his life and build a positive future. His new path now finds Séan connecting with people face to face by using his music as medicine as he continues his journey as a singer, songwriter, and now an acclaimed speaker and mental health and recovery advocate with a simple message: Sing. Share. Survive. “Music has been my medicine in recovery, helping me communicate and find clarity even in the most difficult moments. Now I share that medicine and message of hope with others through story and song,” says McCann on his new path.Kicking off the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week, the event will be held at 10:00am at the Heritage Inn and Convention Centre on Saturday April 30th 2022 and be open to all members of the community. Due to the sensitive nature of the content, this event is recommended for ages 14 and over.
