About Me

"Apparently someone got a bit experimental in the chem lab and mixed the DNA of Janis Joplin and Melissa Etheridge" (Indie-Music.com) and out came Sean Wiggins. Born in New York, living in LA and touring everywhere in between, Wiggins draws audiences into her groove immediately with her soulful lyrics and powerful vocals. Whether playing with a full band or standing solo on the stage, Wiggins is captivating, with a strong stage presence and humorous story-telling between songs. Wiggins has shared the stage with Julia Fordham, Jill Sobule, Sophie B. Hawkins, Cyndi Lauper & more. She was winner of Billboard’s Song Contest, and she released her 5th CD in May 07. Sean has been touring the United States making stops at hot spots like Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta, The Hard Rock in Chicago, CBGB’s in NY and The Bluebird in Nashville. Sean has music featured in a few independent films and music on NPR, KLOS (LA), WCKG (CHI), WDYN (NY), along with many more radio and internet radio stations around the world. Her pod casts are also on the rise. In Addition, in the Fall of ’06, Sean was a member of the touring cast of “Sordid Lives”, starring Leslie Jordan of “Will & Grace”. Keep an eye out, Sean may be coming your way.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 08/02/2007
Band Website: www.seanwiggins.com
Band Members: Sean Wiggins alone or along with whomever wants to jam.... This project is all about creation - mostly on the spot - I am adding myself back into the solo world in addition to Lone Goat, my main squeeze.In 1999 I jumped off into the grand abyss and tried to find me. I learned to play guitar and moved from piano to guitar to write songs. Solo Sean Wiggins is what enabled me to be the Lone Goat I am today, but it is the power that drove me. I don't want to lose that side - so this is the PB&J version of Sean Wiggins - available for very silly house parties and numerous stories about new fangled bathrooms, geese and even bats!
Influences: I have to say - everything from George Clinton to The Pretenders to Janis to Cole Porter to Aretha & Bonnie Raitt
Sounds Like: hmmm - all on my own - Melissa & Janis are the big ones people say but I am not so angry - more Ironic
Record Label: Unsigned
