SUMMARY:Venables Theatre presents- Sean McCann - Sink or Swim
DESCRIPTION:About the Performance\n\nThe Shantyman of GREAT BIG SEA – Live in Concert! \n\nThis spring\, Séan McCann — The Shantyman — returns with a new set of original songs\, alongside the trusted favourites audiences know and love\, for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the moment we’re living in. Between constant noise\, relentless headlines\, and the pressure to keep moving without pause\, Sink or Swim asks a simple but vital question: how do we stay afloat when the world feels louder\, faster and heavier by the day. Armed with his guitar\, and an unwavering commitment to truth\, Séan invites audiences into a shared space of reflection\, resilience\, and release — where singing isn’t optional\, it’s essential. These are songs about the undertow — and what we do to resist it. About finding your breath when everything feels urgent. About choosing presence over panic\, connection over isolation\, and humanity over noise. \n\n​ \n\nSéan McCann is a singer\, songwriter\, and storyteller best known as a founding member of the iconic Canadian band Great Big Sea. Over the past decade\, his solo work has carved out a powerful and deeply personal path — one rooted in honesty\, recovery\, community\, and the belief that music is meant to be shared with\, not performed for audiences. \n\nHis live shows blend original material with beloved favourites\, inviting audiences to sing along\, reflect\, and reconnect with themselves and with one another. In his latest tour\, Sink or Swim — Singing Through the Noise\, McCann sings brave new songs alongside trusted classics to speak directly to the heaviness of our times. It’s a show about staying afloat in an increasingly noisy world\, finding breath when everything feels urgent\, and remembering that collective singing is both grounding and healing. Whether in churches\, theatres\, or community halls\, Séan McCann’s performances are less about spectacle and more about presence — creating spaces where people feel seen\, heard\, and a little less alone. \n\n​ \n\nCome as you are. Leave a little lighter. The choice is yours: Sink or Swim. \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/embed/5CguBBfuUws?autoplay=0&mute=0&controls=1&loop=0&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca&playsinline=1&enablejsapi=1&widgetid=1&forigin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca%2Fsean-mccann&aoriginsup=1&gporigin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.venablestheatre.ca%2F&vf=6 \n\nTICKETS:Adults: $45Seniors & Students: $40\n\nBuy Tickets Here
