Inwood Art Works On Air

On this On Air Artist Spotlight episode we welcome local actor, playwright, singer, and fight director, Sean Fletcher Griffin. As a child, Sean grew up in a family of Southern Pentecostal church musicians. He attended Florida State University where he double majored in Theatre and Creative Writing. He moved to New York City in 2011 where he started working with a small theatre company in Brooklyn called Phillstock, with whom he wrote, directed, and acted in several shows. As a member of UnkleDave’s Fight-House, a company of fight directors founded by Dave Anzuelo, he has worked on numerous off-Broadway, regional and Broadway productions as a fight and intimacy director, including Appropriate, Merrily We Roll Along, Uncle Vanya, and The Great Society, and the upcoming Death of a Salesman and The Fear of 13.

This is our 2025 On Air Live N’ Local Seasonal Sampler – Volume 1. It’s where we take a pause at this midway point, look back at the first part of 2025, and chose to highlight a musical performance from each Live N’ Local podcast that has appeared throughout the first half of the sixth season of our On Air podcast. This Seasonal Sampler is less of a greatest hits, and more of a critic’s pick. A curated mixtape of clashing styles and diverse forms with one thing in common – they all hail from the musical melting pot of Northern Manhattan. 2025 LIVE N’ LOCAL SEASONAL SAMPLER - Vol. 1Mateo VintimillaTom NelsonString Orchestra of New York CityCombo NuvoLou Bruno Jazz QuartetLe Flor De LisSamuel Torres TrioTowncryerRolando Briceno and his Afro-Venezuelan Latin Jazz QuintetInwood Chamber Players
