KEYNOTES
Séan believes that music is strong medicine and a song is never more powerful than when it is sung with a friend. SING + SHARE = SURVIVE is a 60 minute mental health themed musical KEYNOTE presentation that features 5-6 songs on guitar and bodhrán and focuses on how music can act as a powerful tool to help us maintain our mental resilience through difficult times in our lives.
“ To be in the audience for a Séan McCann performance is a gift to all listeners. Through story, music and the most intimate sharing, Séan opens his heart and connects with each person in a unique way. He allows for people to open up themselves and discover the purest forms of human potential: healing, loving, living and connecting as human beings, to our selves and one another. I can’t emphasize enough the power and influence of Séan on stage. He is a gift to all audiences. “
— Clara Hughes, Olympic Gold Medalist and Canadian Mental Health Champion
A memoir of Addiction, Recovery, Music, and LOVE
Co-written by singer-songwriter, renowned mental health advocate, and recent Order of Canada recipient Séan McCann and wife Andrea Aragon leaves no stone unturned. Detailing in powerful and lyrical prose a Newfoundland childhood indoctrinated in strict Catholic faith, the creation of the wildly successful Great Big Sea, and the battle with alcoholism that nearly cost them everything, McCann and Aragon offer readers a story of reaching international fame and finding rock bottom. Most of all, this book is an honest, raw, and inspiring tribute to embracing the belief that we are all worth saving.
