Put on a costume and join us for a Halloween Hootenanny, presented by Tioga Arts Council (TAC) on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 12 - 3 p.m. at Cloud Croft Studios, 1003 Sanford Rd., Owego. Come and enjoy a live musical performance by Sean Tobin and The Boardwalk Fire, FREE art activities, as well as other tricks, treats, and hauntings.

ABOUT SEAN TOBIIN

Born and raised on the New Jersey shore, Sean Tobin was influenced by folk-singing troubadours and high-energy rockers alike. His high-energy performances and rock-tinged releases are due mostly in part to his upbringing in the Jersey shore bar scene. Tobin honed his craft playing countless shows in dives, clubs and basements, as well as during his time busking on the streets of Galway, Ireland throughout 2015 and 2017.  He has performed at such festivals as SXSW, Americanafest, North2Shore, and Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings, and has opened for the likes of Jason Isbell, Rhett Miller, and many more. His fifth album, Seasick, will be released on October 24, 2025.
