Shaunough the Minstrel
Shawn Hickey – also known as Shaunough the Minstrel – calls Chelmsford, Massachusetts his birthplace but is no stranger to Middleboro and Plymouth County.
Shawn first became interested in music after hearing a music teacher play the piano. He mentioned this new interest in the piano to his parents who promptly went out and bought him accordion and accompanying accordion lessons. All perfectly logical if one is interested in learning the accordion but for Shawn it was the first step on his musical journeys. It wasn’t long after moving to Cape Cod area that the accordion went into the closet and friends introduced him to guitar playing. This is when the first glimmer of Shaunough the Minstrel was born. From there, Shawn learned that his unique talents were a perfect fit in Irish pubs. Along with the traditional drinking songs, Shawn incorporates music from the 60s, 70s and 80s into his performances. Shawn has performed at a variety of venues across the state including: King Richard’s Faire in Carver, the Olde Hitching Post Restaurant and Tavern in Hanson and Blanchard’s Colonial Tavern in Avon.
