Sean McCue’s music defines him. At once experimental and mainstream, labels such as “alternative” hint at the deeper themes running through his music which is, despite touches of melancholy, optimistic.

Sean was a founding member of Summercamp who landed a recording contract with Madonna’s Maverick Recording Company in 1996. He shared lead singer/songwriter/guitar duties with Tim Cullen. Summercamp released their debut album “Pure Juice” in 1997 and hit the US alternative charts with the song “Drawer.” Sean’s track “Should I Walk Away” became a no. 1 hit in Japan. Summercamp toured the United States, Europe and Japan extensively throughout 1997, playing the Fuji Rock Festival on the main stage with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine and other popular bands. Summercamp also played Lollapalooza, as well as toured with Tonic, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Third Eye Blind, Failure, and Poster Children, to name a few. Sean has worked with producers Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters), Chris Sheldon (Feeder, Foo Fighters, Radiohead), Chris Shaw (Bob Dylan, Ween, Red Kross), Luke Ebbin (Bon Jovi, Rival Schools), and Ben Grosse (Danny Elfman, Marilyn Manson, Ben Folds, Sinéad O’Conner, Filter). His music has been featured on television with an on-screen appearance in the hit show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and in film (Baseketball, Double Take).

Sean turned to his close friend Robinson Eikenberry to co-produce his solo album “apart” after the demise of Summercamp. Sean called on Ramy Antoun (Summercamp, Seal) who gifted his top-notch, high caliber drumming for the cause. Brett Simons stepped up and laid down stunning bass performances. Tim Cullen and Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) make their background vocal cameos in “whatever you say” and “release” respectively.

Sean is now working with cellist Michelle Beauchesne as an acoustic duo.
