Sean Costello - "It's My Own Fault"

It was with great sadness that I read of the passing of Sean Costello on April 15th 2008 in Atlanta Georgia, one day short of what would've been his 29th Birthday. I met this great young Bluesman on 2 separate occasions finding him to be very personable, polite, humble, and extremely talented as a writer, singer, & guitar player. My heart goes out to his family, colleagues, band mates, & fans. Rest in Peace brother. He lives on through his music on CD and through this video. This is Sean Costello & band performing "It's My Own Fault" at The Yale (theyale.ca) 1300 Granville Street in Vancouver, Canada on February 14, 2008.

Thank goodness Sean allowed me to shoot some video of him that night so that even though he's physically gone, we at least have been able to document his great talent and share it through YouTube.

Leaves one breathless....such a tragic loss....such a huge talent. Who can possibly fill his shoes? Why do we lose such huge musical talents every year? And, years before their time? The connection between exceptional talent and enormous personal strife or affliction exist all too often. I am thankful to all who have captured Sean Costello's performances on You Tube so that many more guitarists can be inspired. I am just awestruck and very sorry I did not see him live.

As a blues bassist, I would have loved to have sat in with Sean! I'm looking forward to it in the Afterlife!!

I would do anything to see him live. I am so upset I didn't know about him till it was too late.

@TMMSfanCLUB I don't think Sean wasted his talents with drugs. In fact, I'm positive he was just self-medicating himself for his Bi-Polar disorder because he probably didn't even realize he had it until maybe it started to effect him more. Generally people with ADHD, Bi-Polar, are often very creative, yet troubled souls... Sean was managing the best way he knew, he went into that hotel room just wanted to chill from being in the spotlight, get a little high, but got too high, i miss you sean

What a tragic loss - never heard of Sean Costello until a friend recommended him yesterday. He had such a great feel for the blues!

@Sluwickie I also never saw Sean. I figured I had all the time in the world to see him. I'd grow old with him and he'd just get better and better. But he's like the brightest stars in the sky that burn out so quickly. I feel cheated....I just wish I could have said something to him that would've mattered and who knows? But I'm just a guitar player. I love you Sean!!
