Single of the Week: 'The Girl on Christopher Street' - Sean C Kennedy

Winner of the Best Acoustic Act at Scottish Alternative awards 2015, Sean C Kennedy releases his new single 'The Girl on Christopher Street' this Friday.

Sean C Kennedy, a Scottish singer-songwriter travelled to New York in 2011 to run the Marathon for Neurocare, a charity doing research into motor neuron disease. Sean took his guitar with him on his trip, and before he ran the marathon he performed in the Path Café on Christopher Street.

While he was performing a girl came into the café and he was totally struck by her, one of those ‘love at first sight’ moments. By the time he finished, she was gone. She had asked the barman to get Sean’s details but she never did get in touch. It’s been 4 years.

He was so inspired, he had to write about his experience in a song called ‘The Girl on Christopher Street’. This song is the 2nd single from his debut album 77.

We first caught Sean when he opened up for The Shires and Ward Thomas on their Homegrown Tour at the end of 2014 and were wowed by his storytelling skills - this single is the perfect example of such skills.

Get 'The Girl on Christopher Street' and the album, 77 on iTunes.
