San Franciscan folk musician Sean Hayes is not a music geek. Well at least as far as we know from his answers on this edition of the Kuestionnaire. Despite his lack of music geekiness, Sean Hayes is quite a talented man with the ability to make some the most soothing, catchy and danceable tunes this side of Nick Drake. While Natalie Portman may have added him into her compilation disc last year, he still seems to be one of the Bay Area’s best kept musical secrets. Sean will be touring the West Coast this summer and will be dropping by the Outside Lands Festival on August 23rd, early that morning.
