Sean Harrington

Now 24 years old, Sean’s first experiences in music were through family exposure to Irish and folk music. He picked up a guitar at 11 and started playing publicly at 17, when he instantly fell in love with live performance.
Blind from the age of 3, his disability allows him to forge a uniquely honest connection with his audience.
Authenticity is very important to Sean, who idolises artists in blues, folk and punk who kept their music raw and real.
In a world where disabled people can find it difficult to be truly independent, Sean loves being his own boss - answerable only to his audience. In music creation and performance, he is on a level playing field.

About Moments EP, Sean says:

“This 4 track live EP was recorded with my backing musicians in one take. The backing vocals were added later. I did it this way because I want to be authentic in my lyrics and my music. I don’t want to mar that with synthetic or unrealistic methods of creation.”

“For example, The Getaway is an expression of the feelings that many people, specifically disabled people in my case, feel on a daily basis. The helplessness and desire to just get away from everything, the desire to have someone to come along and fly them away from their problems.”
