"Earworm is a wonderful and quirky album that is fun for the whole family."
~ BookwormBev
Sean McCollough's Earworm release taps into the deep musical heritage of East Tennessee's native folk and Americana traditions, while not being too precious about it. Using real musicians who can really play, the songs are educational and FUN! And yes these tunes DO stick in your head. From the land that brought us the Carter Family, McCollough builds on that history and expands it.
