Sean Shiel is a solo acoustic performer based out of a small town in northern Illinois.

Sean has been fortunate enough to share the festival lineup with a myriad of amazing bands and musicians, including Phil Lesh & Friends, Dave Matthews Band, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Umphrey's McGee, String Cheese Incident, Keller Williams, Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood, Mickey Hart Band, Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks Band, The Flaming Lips, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Railroad Earth, Leftover Salmon, Little Feat, Galactic, Wookiefoot, Lotus, Particle, MOFRO, EOTO, Cornmeal, The Disco Biscuits, Dark Star Orchestra, Family Groove Company, Garaj Mahal, Backyard Tire Fire, and Fat Maw Rooney, to list a few.
