LIVING ON MUSKOKA TIME: AN ALMANAC IN SONG

SEAN COTTON AND THE NEW LOCALS BAND OFFER A MULTIMEDIA CONCERT INSPIRED BY LIFE IN MUSKOKA

Want to know what it’s like to live in Muskoka? Embark on this musical journey with “Living on Muskoka Time” by Mr. Muskoka himself, local troubadour Sean Cotton. This multimedia extravaganza weaves a tapestry of songs and stories inspired by the heart and soul of Muskoka: a celebration of the unique spirit that defines this cherished locale, along with the highs and lows for those living here.

A Georgetown , Ontario native and Toronto expat, Sean Cotton currently creates and performs in the Central Ontario regions of Muskoka and Almaguin Highlands. After retiring from a 20 year career on the road and in the studio as a guitar player and harmony vocalist with performing-songwriting duo The Undesirables, Sean has settled in the village of Burk’s Falls, Ontario where he operates a recording studio producing artist, recording his own albums as well as working as a jingle composer for radio.

Over the years Sean has been a sideman for artists as diverse as Indie New Country Artist Marshall Dane, Blues and R&B singer Treasa Levasseur, and Pop singer Suzie McNeil. His first record producer credit was for his longtime collaborator Folk singer Corin Raymond. Sean still receives SOCAN royalties from writing collaborations with the latter three artists.

You can see Sean performing solo from Gravenhurst to North Bay, from Burk’s Falls to Parry Sound. These performances are a highly revered one-man band experience, with Sean filling out the back beat of the music with his feet by performing percussion on a tambourine adorned guitar case and sporting ankle bells on his left leg. He is constantly creating bands to suit all occasions that get thrown his direction. He currently performs his original music with a quartet fittingly named The New Locals.
