In This Episode
- Philadelphia goes 3-for-3 in July as Seán joins us from the last night of his tour
- An incredibly vulnerable convo as they touch on his “viscerally queer” epithet, the deep emotional hurdles he worked through as a college freshman following the loss of his brother, and how he faced feeling like a “Dishonest Artist” and came out publicly and as an artist.
- Lots of laughs over the fun stories that include Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows
- Seán performs two acoustic songs for us: “Routines” off of Cissy EP, and the opening overture and first track off of the recent album, “Disco Nap”.
We’ll also share our fav songs off An Evening At Macri Park, “Benjamin Whishaw Smiled” and “I’ve Been Sleeping With Strangers”.
