SÉAN MCCANN is a founder of the iconic Canadian band GREAT BIG SEA and a recipient of the ORDER OF CANADA for his MENTAL HEALTH + RECOVERY advocacy. Sober since 2009, SÉAN has spent the last ten years touring the country as a musical keynote speaker and acclaimed solo concert performer singing and sharing his story with everyone willing to listen and singalong. We are thrilled to welcome him back to the Song Sparrow Hall stage!

Séan McCann is setting out on a journey—not just across Canada, but into the heart of what it means to be human. In a time when the world feels fractured, uncertain, and heavy, this tour is about something bigger than music. It’s about connection. It’s about light. It’s about showing up for each other, one song at a time.

This is not a tour of stadiums or grand stages. It’s a tour of small towns, realconversations, and the spaces where people need music the most. It’s for the folks who might not get a concert in their backyard, the ones craving something real—a voice in the room, a hand to shake, a chorus to sing along with. Because in the end, that’s what we are: a choir, not a solo. Séan will drive alone, but he won’t be alone. His guitar, his stories, and his music will be the bridge between strangers, a reminder that no matter how hard the road gets, we are never truly walking it alone.

So, town by town, mile by mile, song by song—this is The Great BIG Canadian ROAD TRIP . A journey not just of distance, but of belonging.

Let’s turn the lights back on. Let’s raise our voices together. Let’s remind ourselves why we sing.
