Hey gang,

Hey everyone, Forgive the lack of updates...trust me, it has not been for lack of activity! I recently was asked to play guitar for international superstar Nelly Furtado, and I have been having a great time with the gig! My first show with Nelly was in Mexico City , where we played in front of 165,000 people! What a rush! We recently got back from LA where we did the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, The ALMA awards (which aired on ABC), and an acoustic show at KTLA (where we were followed by KISS, who showed up in full make-up). I am getting ready to head to Europe with Nelly for a series of promo appearances and acoustic shows that will take us to the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and Holland. Also, I am pleased to announce that the new Helix record (which I co-wrote, co-produced, and played on) is ready for the presses! The album is called "Vagabond Bones" and I am VERY proud of it! As I mentioned before, I was playing bass with Helix, and this eventually lead to a writing relationship between myself and Brian Vollmer. When the Nelly gig was offered to me, I had to leave the Helix gig (amicably, of course), and Brian gave me his full support and blessing. We knew we had something special with our writing relationship, so we continued work on the album. While I was very sad to leave Helix, it opened the door for a very special occurrence...a reunion of the classic 80's line-up! As Helix was the first band I ever saw in concert, and my favourite Canadian Hard Rock band of all time, it was a true dream come true to have the original guys in the studio working on songs that I had co-written and was producing! When you hear Vagabond Bones, I'm sure you'll all agree that there is something magical that happens when these musicians are in a room together...I am so proud of this record! Many thanks to Moe Berg for his co-writing contributions on 4 tracks! As some of you know, I also play with the legendary Carole Pope, and she recently released a two song singe on I-Tunes, Shining Path/Tell Me. I contributed bass guitar to the song Tell Me, I had a great time doing my best McCartney, haha. Carole is an incredible artist, go and check out those tunes! Finally, CK recently played with Helix in Toronto at Rock N Roll Heaven...thing have been a little quiet on the Crash Kelly front, but I have been working on some new material, and the recent gig reminded me of how great it is to get up and rock with these guys...watch for some new rock action in 2010! All the best!! Sean

Hey everyone, First of all, let me say a big THANK YOU for all of you messages and letters! I really appreciate hearing from everyone...we rock n roll fans have to stick together! Ya know, they keep telling me that the music industry is dying on the vine, and yet here we are in 2009, and reaching more people than ever...in fact, I'm finding it is MUCH easier to get in touch with the exact people who will dig the type of music that we're doing....life is good! Things have been quiet on the live front...my agent assures me that there will be summer gigs happening very soon here in Canada. We would LOVE to get back to the US and Europe, and eventually over to Japan, but economics can make that very difficult! However, I am very hopeful that Crash Kelly will get out there again soon. In the meantime, I have been VERY busy working with Helix...we are writing for the new Helix record, and gearing up for a bunch of gigs, so it's looking like it's gonna be a crazy summer...can't wait for Rocklahoma, hope to meet some of you there! I'm also working on my next nylon string record, and doing some writing and session work on some other projects...however, I am still working on material for the next CK release...while not being out and touring is a drag, the good news is that I have had more time to write, so creatively, I've been having a blast. Anyway, please keep the letters coming...it's so great to hear from you! Sean
