Sean Findlay is a solo artist who has built a name for himself in and around Dundee.
He writes songs in many different genres but is mainly noted for playing a retro inspired alternative pop rock influenced by artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie & Nirvana.
He has been gigging relentlessly around Scotland with fiddle player Adam Smith as well performing solo shows, and that relentless drive has paid off with huge shows on the horizon this year including the Barrowlands, Glasgow!
His debut EP ‘Simple World’ which featured the singles‘Bouldersand’, ‘Cryptic’ and ‘Nightclubs in Heaven’ all received great feedback and global airplay and featured on a number of high-profile playlists including Amazing Radio and BBC Introducing. Since then Sean has released a number of tracks with touring partner Adam Smith – ‘Fiddle John’, ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’ and ‘Black Limo’. He kicked off what will be an extensive run of solo releases last month with ‘Have You Ever’, and followed that up with a song to promote his new show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, ‘The Shakey Shakey Hips’, which is also where his next single is from.

“Sweet Gyration is an original song from 50s comedy rock musical I’m putting on at Edinburgh Fringe Festival this year. In the musical Johnny B Bad (Evil Elvis character) goes to a mad scientist “Dr Squijy Sqodgy” who gives him a potion that will help him shake his hips better than his nemesis in Vegas, This Scientist is a combo of Johnny Rotten and evil lab professor from dystopian novel “A Brave New World”. The character even developed a Rock’n’Roll machine called “The Gyration Station ‘ which harnesses Gyrowaves from deceased Elvis Presley’s hair! A punky rock song, great fun: sounds like if The Sex Pistols had a baby with Eddie Cochran”. – Sean Findlay
