We're having a party this weekend on Made in Manitoba, with yet another debut. This time around its the six piece Winnipeg based country music group The Sean Taylor Band. Featuring Greg Dunstan on bass, James Klassen on keys, Sean Taylor Johnston on acoustic guitar and vocals, Juno award winner Jeff Kula on drums, Sean Borton on guitar, and Blaine Badiuk on fiddle and mandolin.
The group is coming off winning two Manitoba Country Music Awards last November; Group or Duo of the Year and Album of the Year for the self titled CD "The Sean Taylor Band", which we're featuring music from tonight.
This group works really, really hard. They perform dozens upon dozens of times per year. Five of the six do vocals, and lead singer Sean Taylor is our guest tonight for Made in Manitoba.
Country music is known for two things, telling great stories and telling great stories about having a great time. Sean describes this album as a "country music buffet", one where harmonies play a big role in making great music.
It's the Sean Taylor Band on Made in Manitoba for the first time, and we get the party started after this.
