Sean Nolan and The Heartmakers consists of Sean Nolan (vocals, guitar), Chris Cross (vocals, lead guitar), Kyle Nolan (synthesizers, keyboards), Matt Bayer (bass) and Kenny Duclos (drums). Heavily influenced by classic rock and roll and 90’s punk rock, the band strives for a dynamic, genre-bending sound (think Saves the Day meets The Who). After the release of two music videos for “Or, the Whale” and “Heartbeat”, the band is today back with a new record, titled “The Machineries of Joy”. “Nobody’s got this whole thing figured out. Some people may seem to know more than others but, ultimately, life’s a big journey, right? There are so many highs and lows, it’s not always easy moving forward. “The Machineries of Joy” is a collection of songs about pressing on, one step at a time, towards where we want to be. It’s a record about overcoming self-doubt, the search for a place to belong. Along the way, if we look for it, we may even find a little joy.” – Sean (vocals / guitar)
