Shortly after graduating Sean began to find an interest in traditional folk/singer-songwriter music and in instrumental acoustic music like that made by Michael Hedges and Preston Reed. He found an instant love for this type of music and found it a satisfying creative outlet. "The solo instrumental music I play encompases so many things in one place: the aggression and energy of heavy metal, the hamonic, rhythmic and melodic complexities of jazz and classical, and the gentle wash of new age music," explains Sean. Book of Ashes is his first solo cd. He released his second cd "driving empty miles" in 2001. October Dust is Sean's third full length solo acoustic cd.

Sean remains busy with a number of projects. He currently records and performs with the Progressive Metal act Strange Land, the female fronted rock band ChupaRosa and continues working on a variety of projects in may styles including a vocal acoustic album and a number of flute and guitar duets.
