YOU ARE REAL

I was at Syntax Songwriters Open Mic in Denver, hosted by my friend and amazing musician, Anthony Ruptak. One of the performers was this mystical human, Missy. Missy, as far as I could tell, was fearlessly, unapologetically queer, and over the course of a few songs I deified them in my brain. This song is basically an answer to Rufus Wainwright’s song, “Gay Messiah,” because I think maybe I figured out who the gay messiah is. It's also a call to arms for other queers out there to live fearlessly against any oppression from society or one's family, and to continue to be fucking weird whenever possible. This song features Counting Crows' Dave Immergluck on electric guitar.

Featured in American Songwriter, Billboard Pride, NewNowNext, and Aquarian Weekly, Seán Barna is helping define the art of queer storytelling through songwriting. NPR's Bob Boilen, host of the Tiny Desk Concerts and podcast All Songs Considered, said Barna is, "a thrill to see... wearing Ziggy Stardust on his glittery sleeve," while Barna's seminal EP, CISSY, was called "a brilliant, giant statement about modern life and sexuality" by Counting Crows frontman, Adam Duritz.
 
Barna uses empathy, intensity, and his experiences living in NYC and Los Angeles to shine a light on the darker corners of the queer experience. Across his vast catalog, with increasing intensity in recent releases, Barna has sought to describe a time and a place—a scene—through its characters, as they thrive or fall, live or die, stay or leave. In this, he embraces a songwriting tradition that has bloomed at key times throughout history, like Laurel Canyon in the 60s or 70s, or NYC in the 70s, where the art and song grow from the bars and streets, or from the living rooms of intimate friends.

The former drummer of Deaf West Theatre's LA production of Spring Awakening and the national Broadway tour of Mel Brooks’ The Producers, Barna plays drums and rhythm guitar on all of his records, and is the sole songwriter. Sean is currently preparing the release of his second full-length record, An Evening at Macri Park.
