The Sean Taylor Band, a group of six exceptionally talented musicians from Manitoba, has been captivating audiences for the past seven years. Since the band formed, they’ve evolved from performing covers to creating their own unique sound, making waves in the music industry.
A significant moment for the band was when they were nominated for Cover/Tribute Artist, Duo or Group of the Year at the 2022 Manitoba Country Music Awards. This nomination not only introduced them to the Manitoba country music community but also inspired the group to create their own music, which led to the release of their first single “Rolling Stone.”
The song quickly gained traction, receiving radio play and becoming their most-streamed track. After this, the band was eager to create a full length album of original music.
A standout song on the album for them is “Alberta Sunrise,” which got the best response at a Songwriters Night at The Royal George and sparked confidence for the rest of the album. If you listen to the demo of “Alberta Sunrise” on Spotify or Apple Music you will hear Sean Johnston’s son singing in the background so that song will always have a special place in his heart.
The album’s release was celebrated with a sold-out show that marked the end of this chapter for the band. Reflecting on the event, Sean Johnston said, “It felt like the perfect ending to the album journey and the amazing response from the crowd was the icing on the cake.”
The Sean Taylor Band has a jam-packed summer with a full lineup of shows, which you can check out at https://theseantaylorband.ca/. Despite their busy schedule, the band is already writing new material and planning their next album, eager to continue their musical journey and deliver more hits to their growing fanbase.
