Sean McLean and the Vibetenders JT Wise Band

Sean McLean and the Vibetenders are a rootsy jamband with elements of soul, blues, funk and bluegrass. Their frontman Sean McLean is best known for being the sax and guitar player for local dancefloor instigators, World's Finest. He can also be seen playing around the Pacific northwest sitting in with bands from the Jam scene such as Umphrey's McGee, Leftover Salmon, ALO, Andy Frasco, Lespecial, Pimps of Joytime and The Kitchen Dwellers. Sean's Music features original songs, reworked World's Finest numbers as well as a clever blend of classic and unique covers. Every Vibetenders show is a great time and, of course, guaranteed to be the perfect vibe.
