I'm Sean Bienhaus, a Hamilton-based independent musician who's all about creating honest, heartfelt music that tells real stories.</strong> My sound blends folk, pop, and rock, exploring themes of mental health, community, love, and resilience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"14px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:14px">My musical journey started with high school rock bands, but the 2020 lockdown sparked a creative transformation. After releasing my debut album "You Won't Ever Know" in 2021, I fell in love with music production. I dove into studying audio engineering and now not only create my own music but also collaborate with other artists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"14px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:14px">Post-pandemic, I discovered my passion for live performances. In 2023, I became a full-time gigging musician, playing over 60 shows across Southern Ontario - from festivals and breweries to art galleries. My one-man acoustic act has been keeping me busy and inspired!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"14px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:14px">This past year has been exciting - I've released a new EP, two singles, and a live album recorded at Supercrawl. Right now, I'm working on my sophomore album, pushing my sound towards a more pop-rock direction. Stay tuned!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator {"align":"center","className":"is-style-dots"} --> <hr class="wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots"/> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":6} --> <h6 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Band Members</strong></h6> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:spacer {"height":"25px"} --> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <!-- /wp:spacer --> <!-- wp:columns --> <div class="wp-block-columns"><!-- wp:column {"width":"33.33%"} --> <div class="wp-block-column" style="flex-basis:33.33%"><!-- wp:image {"id":5695,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://theirishharppub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Headshot-2-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5695"/></figure> <!-- /wp:image --></div> <!-- /wp:column --> <!-- wp:column {"verticalAlignment":"top","width":"66.66%"} --> <div class="wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top" style="flex-basis:66.66%"><!-- wp:heading {"level":6} --> <h6 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong>SEAN BIENHAUS - SINGER, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST</strong></strong></h6> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:spacer {"height":"25px"} --> <div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <!-- /wp:spacer --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"14px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:14px"><strong><strong>Fun Fact:</strong> </strong>I started producing my own music back in 2019, and discovered a deep love for it.
