Love Sean Michael xoxo

What’s there to love about Love Sean Michael? He’s sweet, he’s suave, and he’s sweeping through Ithaca oh, so smooth.
Still young, Sean Stolar is the face of the pop/funk/electro cool that is Love Sean Michael. A heartbreaker from the tender age of six, Stolar has embraced his gift of a sweet, yet, suggestive serenade. He played piano and guitar from the get go and after dozens of bands, 17-year-old Stolar took over famed clubs like LA’s Viper Room, the Roxy, and CBGB. Following in the esteemed footsteps of his brother Julius of J and the Birds, Stolar paved his way through the NYC music scene.
Stolar traveled to Ithaca to attend Ithaca College and had to transition to the slower pace of upstate. You may recognize him from local groups such as Super Cola and White Hot.
Stolar sensed the need for change and set out to redefine the point of collaboration in the first place. Stolar hopes to resurrect the quality that’s been missing in the music industry.
“It’s important to produce something that I would want to hear,” Stolar says. “That’s why we’re doing what we’re doing.”
The answer---Love Sean Michael, an 8-ish group of studio musicians blending the ease of city rhythms with an ultra-plush sophisticated funk. Stolar is featured on guitar, keyboard and vocals. The latest single “So Romantic” has a soft techno edge and a hook to make anyone smile.
With a lot of original music, Sean says he can’t help but cover the music he appreciates most. If you thought you knew Michael Jackson, you haven’t heard him like Stolar. He idolizes the greats in R&B, soul, and funk and claims Prince as his greatest discovery or “the rapport of his thunder.”
Stolar has also been staying true to form and remains independent from large labels and producers. Along with Dave Weingarten and Dan Timmons, Stolar has taken control of the band’s direction and written, recorded, and produced all of their projects. Pending the finish of LSM’s latest EP, Stolar is in the works of a greater umbrella corporation to house all of their budding ideas and projects. Love Sean Michael LLC will include a record label, publishing company, production company, merchandising and a fashion label which will be finalized in the next coming weeks.
This week, however, is something special. After a European tour with LSM this past summer, Stolar has found a innate sense to recognize high quality sound. Straight from Berlin and Rome respectively, Stolar is bringing in Acid Washed and Dam Funk for a show of international proportions. The trio of groups will make their American debut together and perform this Friday April 23rd at 10:00 p.m. at Castaways. While Acid Washed is a Parisian duo fusing ‘90s house and disco beats, Dam Funk or the “Ambassador of Boogie Funk” brings a synthesized, deep bass vibe straight from Cali. The two, combined with Love Sean Michael, hope to create more of an atmosphere than a concert showing off a softer side of Castaways that may be just the sweet, suave, smooth sound we’ve been missing.
“We really wanted to see a real show that’s different and refreshing,” Stolar said. “You have to go with what you believe in and be creative. That way, the results will always be magical.”
