   About Sean Kemp Band
Following the October 2007 release of his debut CD Moscow Madness, Sean Kemp was quickly nominated for an East Coast Music Award in February 2008 for best instrumental album. A tour of Maritime venues and a few dates in Ontario took place in the fall of 2007 and now preparations are underway for more touring in 2008.

Check back to see updated tour dates for the Sean Kemp Band and Sean with other performers. Sean was recently backing up Anne Murray during the Maritime leg of her tour in April. He is also rejoining Lennie Gallant this summer. Sean Kemp has been the principal violinist for multiple East Coast Music Award Winner and Juno Nominee, Lennie Gallant for more than four years.

This highly regarded violinist has been featured on numerous albums including 2007 Juno Award Nominated "When we get there" by Lennie Gallant and 2006 Juno Award nominated "Boy-Cott-in-the-Industry" by Classified. Sean has performed at most of the major music festivals in North America. Most recently he appeared at the Stewart Park Festival near Ottawa and has performed to standing ovations at the Mariposa Folk Festival and Caterbury Folk Festival in Ontario and the Dead of Winter Festival in Halifax.

Influenced by styles and genres from around the world his music is extremely evocative with a sense of infinite space and profound intimacy. His playing and music have won critical acclaim.

Originally from London, England, Sean took up permanent residence in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2002. He started playing the violin at the age of six and went on to receive his musical training at the Royal College of Music in the UK. He later studied acting at the "State Institute of Cinematography", Moscow, Russia.

That was a fantastic evening and everyone commented on Ruthie's never having had such a classy musician!

Ha! You have become an icon in Victoria by the Sea.

Hope you bring the band back before the pub closes for the season, and I thought John did a remarkable job too.

Attempted to get to Baba's last night, but was too tired by the time I got out of the shop. Hope it was a success!
How about a gig at Ruthie's Pub on the wharf in Victoria-by-the-Sea?
