Welcome to Clarineat

The Clarineat Podcast was founded in 2015 by Sean Perrin, and is not only the world’s most popular clarinet podcast, with over 300,000 downloads to date, but was also the first clarinet podcast on iTunes. Upon its launch, Clarineat was featured as “New and Noteworthy” by Apple, and has broken the top 100 on the USA, Canadian, and other Global podcasting charts.

Originally intended to feature “all that’s new and neat for clarinet,” Clarineat has now become “THE show for clarinetists” and focuses on a wide range of topics from self development, the business of music, solo music, chamber playing, orchestral careers, and even hearing protection.

Past guests include Martin Fröst, Stanley Drucker, Corrado Giuffredi, Eddie Daniels, Michael Lowenstern, Lori Freedman, and dozens of other famous clarinetists.

Clarineat has been featured by other podcasts including A Musical Life, Portfolio Composer, Contrabass Conversations, The Podcast Rodeo Show, and Podcast Review Show, and has received mention in the International Clarinet Association’s quarterly magazine, The Clarinet.

Hi, I’m Sean Perrin

I’m a multi-instrumentalist from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In addition to the Clarinet, I love contemporary music, Radiohead, Camaros, and cooking. A few years ago I started The Clarineat Podcast because I wanted to listen to a podcast about the clarinet, but couldn’t find one! It’s since become a runaway success with over 300,000 listens around the world and big name guests including Martin Fröst, Stanley Drucker, Michael Lowenstern, Corrado Giuffredi, Eddie Daniels, and too many others to list.

In addition to the podcast, I work full time as the Online Sales and Marketing Coordinator for Backun Musical Services, teach clarinet privately and at the Mount Royal Conservatory, and work as a freelance performer.

As a clarinetist, I’ve had the chance to play and recordwith many ensembles including The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Red Deer Symphony, and Bow Valley Chorus; sports teams such as The Calgary Flames and The Calgary Stampeders; and pop acts such as Diana Krall, Keith Urban, Shania Twain, and Brett Kissel. As a past member of the Calgary Stampede Showband, Stetson Showband and Round Up Band I have performed throughout Canada, the United States, and as far away as Japan for hundreds of thousands of people, including none other than Queen Elizabeth II!

In 2015 I recorded my first album called “Dreamsongs,” which reached number 5 on the Canadian Jazz charts, and was funded by The Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Kickstarter, and Jazz YYC. The CD release concert was streamed online (before it was cool!) with audience members tuning in from as far away as Spain and New Zealand. You can check it out anywhere you get your digital music (or buy a CD from me directly for $10) if you still have a CD player. I obtained my Bachelor of Music Performance Degree (BMus) from The University of Calgary in 2009. Music has been quite the ride so far… and I’m looking for many more years ahead!
