Remembering Sean “Minnow” McCarthy
I remember getting a phone call from Sean some years back.He said that both him and O’Leary want to get back in to playing again and they would like me in the band.I was thrilled.Who would of thought 8 years later we would have 2 cd’s,played at the BMA’s,nominated for “Best New Artist”,won “Best New Artist” at the Blues Blast Awards,played major blues festivals in the USA and Europe.Thanks to Sean the COB band continues to rock on!
Check out this song Sean played on called “Salt Flats Boogie” named after O’Leary and Sean’s love for cars.
