Please join us for food and fellowship at one of Canada's premier addiction treatment facilities. There will a silent auction, raffle, free food and a keynote address by Sean McCann.

After millions of albums sold, countless hit songs, and record-breaking tours around the world with Great Big Sea, Séan McCann realized that his 20 years with the band had to stop. Music is meant to connect, heal, and bring happiness. While Séan was giving that to thousands of people a night he was slowly losing his own way.

Instead of seeking truth he was hiding behind his music and his addiction. This was unfair to both himself and his fans so he left the band and started over.

In 2014 he released his first album post-Great Big Sea. Produced by Joel Plaskett, the album “Help Your Self” is the sound of a man facing his demons and ultimately overcoming them. The songs helped him deal with his issues of addiction and abuse and showed him how to find strength in pain. He followed this up with the album “You Know I Love You”, a happy collection of songs sung by a man intent on sharing his joy directly with you.

Séan has also found himself using music as therapy, working with people who face physical, mental, and addiction challenges, and has become a sought after speaker trying to help others to help themselves find light through the darkness.
