The
driving delivery and infectious down-home style of
Seth Walker’s voice and songs resonate with Blues
and Roots music. Although he is heavily influenced
by guitar players--B.B. King, T-Bone Walker and
Snooks Eaglin to name just a few, Seth also has a
great gift for songwriting in the blues idiom.
“These songs sound like classics-- matter of fact,
they are!” says Chris Tomlin, Gold Record recording
artist.
Growing up in rural North Carolina surrounded by a
musical, artistic family has lent itself to Seth’s
natural ability to entertain audiences with his
music and the ease with which he performs. W.C.
Clark, considered The Godfather of Austin’s blues
scene, is featured on Seth’s second album Meet Me in
the Middle and believes the music is in his blood.
“Seth is from a long line of great players and
singers. He’s rich with soul, a tasteful player and
a warrior in the field.”
Seth has honed his skills for the last ten years in
Austin, TX, playing among the best blues musicians
in the world. Having opened shows for icons such as
Ray Charles, B.B. King, Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan,
and Aaron Neville, Walker has established himself in
the music world as a unique and compelling
performer. Seth impressed Taj Mahal when he opened
up for the blues legend in 2005. “He’s playing some
hip music, with changes and soul,” he commented. “A
little, white Ray Charles!”
Walker’s
made his recording debut in 1997, following it with
three more CDs, culminating in his eponymously
titled recording debut for Jerry Hall’s Pacific
Blues label.
Walker describes his music as ”a different point of
blue” – an apt description for an artist whose
songs, driving delivery and infectious down-home
style resonates with the emotions, beauty, power and
simplicity that plays such an integral role in the
appeal of traditional Blues and Roots music.
Seth Walker is a huge talent, bristling with
potential – a potential he fulfills with the release
of “Seth Walker”.
