The new single from The Seas Are Rising! “Maria” tells the story of Puerto Ricans dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a devastating storm that was intensified by global warming

The Seas Are Rising: Stories of a Climate in Crisis is the new live concert experience coming to venues in the US and UK about the urgency of the climate crisis featuring stories of people around the globe already facing devastation from climate change.

The Seas Are Rising features new songs by Dan Sheehan about the devastating effects of recent events including Hurricane Maria and the 2020 Australian brush fires, of martyred heroes leading environmental movements in Latin America and Africa, of indigenous peoples being displaced by deforestation and development, and of islands under imminent threat of submersion in the coming decades.  The new songs are being recorded for a 2024 album release.  The live show also features songs from Dan’s last release, Tales from Earth Incorporated, for which he was awarded “Songwriter of the Year” honors at the 2019 Elephant Talk Indie Music Awards as well as “Best Political Subject Album” from WHFR-FM’s music director awards

The Seas Are Rising live show will be available in different formats ranging from a one man show featuring live performance blended with recorded tracks (in-person or virtual) to as a ensemble experience featuring rock band plus horns, strings, and world instruments.
