Sean McCann’s “The Great Big Canadian Road Trip” makes a stop in Calgary in early June

Sean McCann, most famously known as a founding member of the band Great Big Sea will be in Calgary at the Parkdale United Church in the northwest on June 1.
On his current cross-Canada tour, which makes stops in many small places he’s never been, he says “It’s about the more than the 10,000 kilometres it will take to make the drive -it’s about finding harmony in a world that feels off-key. It’s about reminding Canadians, from Kamloops to Kenora, that their stories matter and their voices count and that together we are strong enough to overcome every challenge we may face as a country moving forward.”
Since his Great Big Sea days, McCann has carved out a deeply personal solo path, speaking and singing about mental health, recovery, and resilience. His shows are raw, real, and-above all-relational.
“Music is medicine,” he says, “and we all need a dose right now”
660 NewRadio’s Todd Kaufman had a chance to catch up with McCann prior to the show.
