Every once in awhile bloggers get to do some real kindness for each other. I love when that happens. And Sean Flinn came to me via a wonderful blogger friend, Jesse Priest of Under The Dog. Now, you’re gonna fall in love with Sean Flinn, because he sings folk songs with this clear, pure voice that cuts right down to the bone. Update: I got an email just today from Mr. Flinn who’s been on tour with Nick Jaina.
“Here’s what’s going on in my world right now. I’ve been making a record over the last year that I should been done with in a month or so. It basically needs to be mixed and mastered. It’s taken a bit longer then I expected because i’ve been touring with Jolie Holland and Nick Jaina whom I play with as well. I just got back from a Australian/New Zealand tour with Jolie. I’ve played in many bands in portland but this is the 1st time I’m releasing a record as Sean Flinn. I have two June shows in Portland coming up that I’m excited about. One is on the 12th at Mississippi Studios and the other is on the 21st at Romtoms. If you have any question please email me. Thanks for your time and energy.”
And there ya go; now if you’re in Portland in June, please go support this fine musician and help him get his album out!
