We are so stoked to have Portland's own, Sean McLean as our guest on No Simple Road this week! Sean has been playing in World's Finest since 2011 and has been all over the music scene sitting in with every band imaginable like Leftover Salmon, Umphrey's McGee, and Lespecial just to name a few. His prowess on both the guitar and Alto Sax are unmatched and his new band Sean McLean and The Vibetenders is set to take the scene by storm this Fall!
We sit down in the studio this week with Sean to talk about:

Prepping hiimself to sit-in with so many different bands.

Forging relationships across the musical universe.

The changing landscape of World's Finest and how he ended up playing in the band.

What made him ultimately fall in love with the Sax and guitar.

Landing in the PNW from Chicago.

His take on the uniqueness of the Portland music scene.

Those moments when music becomes much more than 'notes'.

What it is like for him when The Muse decides to pay a visit.

How mistakes can ultimately become opportunities for variety.

... and so much more!
