Sean Cleland at the Velvet Monkey

An Evening of Song, Soul & Stunning Musicianship

Back by Popular Demand • Two Ultra-Intimate Shows

After two quickly sold-out shows, Sean Cleland returns to the Velvet Monkey—and it's easy to understand why.

A three-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Sean has earned a reputation as one of Hawaiʻi's most compelling live musicians. Blending pop, rock, soul, blues, jazz, and R&B into a sound entirely his own, his performances move effortlessly from quiet, introspective moments to soaring guitar work and powerful vocals that command the room.

Performing as a one-man looping artist, Sean builds each song live, layer by layer, creating the sound and energy of a full band with his voice, guitar, and remarkable musicianship. No two performances feel quite the same, and in a room as intimate as the Velvet Monkey, every loop, solo, and spontaneous moment unfolds just feet away.

For those who caught him in July, you already know. For everyone else, this is your chance to experience what sold out the room the first time around.
