Seth Walker to Headline Club Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA on Thursday October 11th

Over the past 10 years, Seth Walker has become recognized as one of the most revered modern Americana artists in the world; a three dimensional talent who combines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich, Gospel-drenched, Southern-inflected voice with a true blue knack for getting around on the guitar. His latest studio album, Gotta Get Back, produced by Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers, and its companion release, Live At Mauch Chunk Opera House, further expand upon this reputation. Walker is currently touring the U.S., including  a stop in Pittsburgh, PA at Club Cafe on Thursday, October 11.

Growing up on a commune in rural North Carolina, the son of classically trained musicians, Seth Walker played cello long before discovering the six-string in his 20s. Upon moving to Jacksonville in his early 20s, an introduction to the blues came via his Uncle Landon Walker, who was both a musician and disc jockey. His fate would be forever sealed. Instantaneously, Seth was looking to artists like T-Bone Walker, Snooks Eaglin, andB.B. King as a wellspring of endless inspiration. The rest is history. He’s released nine albums between 1997 and 2018; breaking into the Top 20 of the Americana charts and receiving praise from NPR, American Songwriter, No Depression and Blues Revue, among others.

In addition to extensive recording and songwriting pursuits, Seth is consistently touring and performing at venues and festivals around the world. Along with headline shows, he’s been invited to open for The Mavericks, The Wood Brothers, Raul Malo, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster, among others.

Seth Walker is currently residing in Nashville after previously residing in New York City, Austin and New Orleans. He’s used those experiences wisely, soaking up the sounds and absorbing the musical lineage of these varied places. With a bluesman’s respect for roots and tradition, coupled with an appreciation for—and successful melding of—contemporary songwriting, Seth sublimely incorporates a range of styles with warmth and grace. Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana, then Seth Walker –with his blend of blues, gospel, pop, R&B, rock, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.”
