Sean Dalton (musician)

Sean Dalton is a Canadian musician and actor, best known as the former drummer for rock band The Trews.

Born and raised in Newfoundland and Labrador, he moved to Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to study music at St. Francis Xavier University, where he joined the Trews in 2001 following the departure of Ramsey Clark; he is the cousin of Colin and John-Angus Macdonald, the band's singer and guitarist.

He remained with the band until 2015, appearing on all of their albums up to and including 2014's The Trews. In 2014 he had his first acting role, with a small supporting appearance in Nik Sexton's comedy film How to Be Deadly.

In 2015 he announced his departure from the band, citing the effects of the touring and partying lifestyle on his physical health. He subsequently moved back to Antigonish, where he set up his own music school offering private drum lessons.

In 2024 he had his first leading role as the title character in Sexton's film Skeet. He won the Joan Orenstein & David Renton Award for Outstanding Performance in Acting at the 2024 Atlantic International Film Festival, and received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performance in a Drama Film at the 13th Canadian Screen Awards in 2025.
