Sean Condron (guitar, voice, banjo and mandolin), born and raised in Sunnyside, Queens, is skilled in many instruments. He was selected by the United States State Department and Jazz at Lincoln Center to be a cultural ambassador to Central America as a part of the Rhythm Roads program and has toured internationally including Ireland, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Russia, Guatemala, Belize, Canada, Mexico and Mali. Over the past 20 years, he has brought his vast repertoire of songs to people with dementia, Huntington’s Disease, developmental delays and people in recovery and he believes in the healing power of live music to help alleviate suffering of all kinds.
