Sean Daley's stage name of Milton Busker dates back to the early 2000's, just about the time that Currently Nameless wrapped their six plus years of gigging up and down the East Coast, which included a tour of the Virgin Islands.
I had the very great fortune of being the live sound engineer, archivist and road manager of sorts for Currently Nameless from the late 90's until early 2000's. I've known Sean for over 25 years and always been in awe of his wit, smarts and songwriting. His incredible stage banter? Not so much.
Milton Busker played solo around Burlington, VT for the last dozen or so years and four years ago started assembled some friends and started playing out with a project called The Grim Work. Starting off with Dave Ball and Jom Hammack, who both play in the Burlington-based band The Brevity Thing.
