We're proud to welcome aboard jazz guitarist Sean Connolly, who is the latest recipient of the Martin Taylor Guitar Academy Scholarship. Sean started playing guitar when he was 12 and soon was sharing the stage with world renowned guitarists including Martin Taylor.  A student of guitarist Jerry Topinka, Sean is also part of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center's "Jazz for Teens" program. Check out the video of Sean playing below, he's pretty amazing. Congrats on the scholarship Sean, and welcome to ArtistWorks! Here's what Martin had to say:

"I'm really happy to have just awarded a Martin Taylor Guitar Academy Scholarship to a young jazz guitarist from New Jersey called Sean Connolly. The last guitarist to receive an MTGA Scholarship was Andreas Varady. Andreas was recently signed to the Quincy Jones Agency and is now enjoying a successful career touring the world. I'm sure Sean is also destined for great things in the future." - Martin Taylor
