Last night Om and KCRW hosted an event at the Americano’s patio featuring live performances from good friend, Shauna Regan and San Francisco troubadour, Sean Hayes. Who is Sean Hayes you ask? Sean Hayes is the voice behind a song many of you are familiar with called “Dream Machine” by Mark Farina.

With backdrops of the Bay Bridge and over 300 attendees, the event was a hit. Sean played tracks from his recent album, ‘Run with Wolves’ and even gave fans a cover of Talking Heads ‘Naive Melody’.

Special guest, KCRW’s Raul Campos was at the event to DJ and host!
