Séan McCann-S.O.S. Live in Elora

Sink or Swim — Singing Through the Noise This spring, Séan McCann — The Shantyman — returns with a new set of original songs, alongside the trusted favourites audiences know and love, for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the moment we’re living in.

Between constant noise, relentless headlines, and the pressure to keep moving without pause, Sink or Swim asks a simple but vital question: how do we stay afloat when the world feels louder, faster and heavier by the day. Armed with his guitar, and an unwavering commitment to truth, Séan invites audiences into a shared space of reflection, resilience, and release — where singing isn’t optional, it’s essential.

These are songs about the undertow — and what we do to resist it. About finding your breath when everything feels urgent. About choosing presence over panic, connection over isolation, and humanity over noise.

Come as you are. Leave a little lighter. The choice is yours: Sink or Swim.
