“2008”

Well I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer and soon Mother Nature will take a turn for some different weather.  With that I will be back to writing and recording the next release that was put on hold do to other obligations.

I will be working on two different projects, but “Where From Here” will be my main focus with a planned tracking of November.

The Salute Iowa Heroes Benefit Concert with TSO members Kelly Keeling, Andrew Ross, Maxx Mann was a great event for a wonderful cause and joining them was Corky McClellen of Baton Rouge, and Marty Paris of Skulls/Paris-Keeling. I would also like to thank local rockers “MORE>Than>this” for kicking the event off with a wonderful show.

It was a night to remember.

I’m also currently working on the details for a small tour this late winter, early spring and will confirm that down the road, for the progress of the next release will have a lot to do with that.

All recording is complete for the memorial Cd  “For You” and I will be heading to Cathouse Studios in Sioux Falls, S.D with my buddy Rob Haspels to do the mixing and mastering. There we will get to work beside engineer, Mike Dresh.  I must say that ol Mother Nature sure has put a burden on this project with many session cancellations, which took it’s toll on me and everyone who was helping in this.  I want to thank all of you for your patience and flexibility for I know there was a lot of sacrificing to make up lost time.  The goodness to it all though is there will be a product ready for pressing around mid February .

12/07 

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are preparing themselves for the Christmas/New Years Holiday Season.

The Memorial Cd for my Fallen Comrade Scott. M Carney is coming along nicely with guitar’s and vocals, strings and keys all being completed Marcus Peterson has been doing a awesome job on helping me in bring my visions to life both musically and production wise.  Rob Haspels will be coming in to do Bass next week on the 18^th and then it should just be adding the drums tracks being done by Doug Beary, then mixing. In January or early February I will be taking a trip to Cathouse studios in Sioux Falls S.D where Mike Dresh will put his crafty engineering to work in Mastering the product.  This may all be put off by a month for I may have a guest producer help me out on this project.

To read more on this project, you can look at the “old news”

Otherwise, I wish you all the best for a safe and glorious holiday season.

Old News

Hope every had a wonderful summer, mine was busy between writing music, attending a few shows and a Iowa Rock n Roll Induction ceremony for one great friend of mine and a wonderful guitarist, Keith Goins.  Keith played the legendary band “Smoke Ring” which later in the early 70’s turned to MSFUNK in which Tommy Shaw joined in before later being called for Styx.

I recently had to say goodbye to my best friend Labor Day Weekend.  His name was Scott M Carney and he was a Master Sergeant in the Iowa Army National Guard.  He died while serving his country in Afghanistan.  I ask that you pray for his family.  After speaking with Kelly Keeling, I was informed that the Tran-Siberian Orchestra will be dedicating and Honoring Scott at their 13 December 2007 performance at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines Iowa.

I’d like to personally thank TSO, and Kelly for taking the time to personally call and speak to Mrs. Carney.  It will be a great night and hope that for those of you who can attend, you will.

I will be taking some time off my full length CD to write a 5 song acoustic dedication Cd for my friend Scott in which all proceeds, sales, will go to Scotts two twin boys College Fund.  You can make donations at any Bank of America and it’s under the Jacob and Justin Carney College Fund. I will be posting as soon as this project is completed.  Estimated to be out by Christmas. Thank you.

 I’ve been very busy doing a lot of rough track recording with Marcus Peterson and working on different directions with all my songs.  Robert Haspels the Bass Player I’ll be working with and great friend, moved into my estates a month ago and we’ve put together a nice little recording studio downstairs.  The recording of the next CD will be continuing throughout the summer.

 Meanwhile I’d like to throw out there, that I’m interested in doing some vocal work for anyone looking and am looking for the right musicians to form or join up with for some jamming.

I’m still working with Marcus, and Rob and will be shooting for a late 07 release. I will be posting songs at www.myspace.com/seanmhuguenin  for you to listen to.

  Also, Robert Haspels,(formally of Shatterbone) and I have discussed doing a joint efforts project, which will consist of 20 songs written by Rob and I to be released sometime in early 08.

I’m going to have a very busy year musically and look forward to it.  I will be doing three music projects, all of different genre and am excited about it.

I’ve written 16 songs for the new CD, mostly of Euro Metal Genre but not sure if I will have all of them make the cut. I may put it out for your votes on the top 12 or I may get greedy and put them all on there, we'll see.  The “official” name of the Cd will be “Where From Here”

 I’ve also just signed a Contract with www.burnlounge.com to have my music available for downloads.  Now you can either go there to load songs as individual or the whole Cd without needing to purchase it and take up space.

I will keep you posted as progression happens.  Be safe and see you all soon.

Guest of Styx!!

I would like to thank again, Tommy, Lawrence, JY, Ricky, Todd, Keith Marks their Road Manager, and last but not least a friend who had a lot to do with this meeting Colin Keefe of MS Funk and a good friend Joye.

It was a great pleasure and a load of fun jamming with my former band More>Than>This July 3^rd and what a Patriotic Crowd to be found living in Chariton Iowa.

The rain held out for the band and my performance with the band. To all of you who came out I thank you for your support and warm welcome.

To Marcus, Doug, Gary and Dave, Thank you and may we do it again sometime.

2003 release ‘All Gone Wild available on this site for $5.00 a copy till the next CD comes out.  Get’m while the supplies last. I’ve written 16 songs for the new CD, but not sure if I will have all of them make the cut. I may put it out for your votes on the top 12 or I may get greedy and put them all on there, we'll see.

The CD will be of metal genre and the lyrics will be of the experiences and other things I've thought of while deployed. I can't wait to start laying the tracks down. This will more than likely be my last CD and a special one for me. This will mark the end of a wonderful journey of playing music for everyone and being in bands to moving on to the dreams and realities of my future with my family. I will always write music, it's in my blood, but the lifestyle of a Rock n Roller is a closed chapter in my life. I will keep you updated as progress goes.  
 
I've also been asked by my friend Robert Haspels to help him on his planned CD when he returns and I will let you all know the progress of that as well. 
 
To Mike and Linda of Linda's Karaoke, www.lindascarraoke.com for their great support and promotion of my CD "All Gone Wild". and Matt, Donna and Heather, You guys are great friends and hope I see you again someday. 
Thanks for the fun times. 
 
As you all know I wrote a song entitled Together (United We Stand) as an anthem for all those that are protecting and defending this great country either here or there. I ask that you all click the link and listen to the song in support of the Troops. 
 
Keep Rockin, and God Bless.

A special thanks to Doug Kirkpatrick, the man behind this website.

Peace;
Sean
