Sean Robert Hennesy is a guitarist for the bands Candlebox, [1] Royal Bliss, and The Gracious Few. [2] He has previously played for the bands The Hiwatts and The Kings Royal.
Hennesy joined a reunited Candlebox in 2006 on rhythm guitar.

In July 2014 he joined Royal Bliss as the second guitarist. In 2015, he left the band shortly after lead guitarist Peter Klett and drummer Scott Mercado left to focus on solo projects.
