Sean McCarthy is a New England-based solo artist.

When performing original, solo acoustic shows, Sean's set is layered with a nostalgic feel of The Wallflowers, Goo Goo Dolls, Alice In Chains, and artists alike, with a creative blend reminiscent of today's hits.

“Swim”, Sean’s latest single, is a complete departure from his previous recordings. With a strong Rocky Votolato vibe, an acoustic guitar and a single vocal track help to expose the stagnation of life and the realization of it being time to take the leap and follow your true calling.

“Live on Saturday Night, Uncut” is an EP featuring 4 songs performed live. Joined by the “Ragged Impressarios” on the first three tracks, the last is a solo acoustic performance. No edits to the performances were done.

Produced by Steve Bertrand (The Tories, Avion), Sean's release, “Everything Has Past” features drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, John Fogerty & more), bassist Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction, Alanis Morrisette), guitarist Sean Woolstenhulme (The Calling, Lifehouse) and keyboardist Scott Simons (LA-based Solo Artist). Added to the mix were Grammy Nominee & Juno Award winner James “Jimbo” Barton assisting with engineering & world-class Mastering Engineer Tom Baker (Precision Mastering). The EP contains a power-packed punch of fresh, new material that will fit perfectly into the collection of any fan of today’s new rock music. Bertrand states of the new release, “Snow Patrol meets Kings Of Leon……the best-recorded version of Sean McCarthy to date.”

Ryan Levasseur of New Norde used to make relatively shiny pop songs as 2000s New Hampshire seacoast stalwarts, The Minus Scale. His new project is a power-pop trio who shamelessly wear influences like Matthew Sweet, Nada Surf, Teenage Fanclub, and Guided by Voices on his collective sleeve. 

Forming in the fall of 2019, New Norde spent 18 months remotely wood-shedding dozens of songs. On April 15th, 2022, New Norde will release their debut EP, Whatever’s Clever (Trash Casual / Mint 400); a selection of carefully crafted power-pop songs about growing up, getting out, taking a damn minute, and cake.
