Description

His first return in a decade to Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, Sean McCarthy will play an intimate, solo performance live at Cafe Lotti. THE ARTIST 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. Sean’s latest release, “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. To help obtain a vintage sound, the drums were mic’d using the Glyn Johns technique. When asked, “Why a live record?” Sean’s reply was, “The band nailed it. Why not? Plus, I had that recording of ‘Sunday Morning‘…” Produced by Steve Bertrand (The Tories, Avion), Sean's release, “Everything Has Past” features drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp & 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.” Sean’s prior CD entitled “July” is a collection of three songs highlighting this artist’s versatility. The CD’s co-producer, Todd Bowie, has worked with The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac & most recently, Beck among many other artists. Doors are at 7:30pm, performance is at 8pm. Event is BYOB. As this is an all-ages show, positive ID is required for those bringing alcoholic beverages to the event. THE VENUE Cafe Lotti is located in the heart of East Burke Village – home to Kingdom Trails. A coffee house setting with many seating options from chairs to couches as well as an upstairs loft to view the performance. This fine historic building was built in 1838 as the East Burke Methodist Church. By the mid-twentieth century it had begun to fall into disuse, until it became, in the 1960s and 1970s, a series of bars, including The Bear Den, Catch an Edge, and The Dirty Ditty. In the late ’70s, a new owner purchased and fully renovated the building. It became Willy’s Restaurant, a popular gourmet eatery and gathering place. When Willy’s closed, Cliff and Jeanie Payne, also owners of Payne’s Dock in Block Island, renamed it, jokingly, the East Burke Yacht Club. For much of the past decade, this beautiful space has been empty. Linda and Johnny are honored to re-establish it’s long tradition of community service!
