Sean Tarpey maybe a blues funk player at at his core, but he offers a very fun and energetic vibe to the indie genre. Backed by a jazz bassist and funked out Latin fusion drummer, his trio The Smooths are simply unique all around. Imagine a mix of Carlos Santana, Mac Demarco, with a twist of James Brown and you got 'Sean Tarpey and The Smooths'. Sean Tarpey has been a musician for 11 years, from playing with orchestras, to gigging in a band called Satchy; playing in big cities like San Francisco, New York, and Las Vegas.
