His latest recording Time Can Change is the sound of an artist moving beyond Sounds Global Swing Street his comfort zone and challenging himself in a new creative ground. Swing Shift Soundscapes Seth’s childhood in rural North Carolina was spent largely on a two-family commune, with music as the backdrop to an Overnight Oldies Express unrushed way of life. He recorded his fi rst album in 1997. By the time Seth released his eponymous fi fth LP in 2008, he had developed into an accomplished guitarist and an even better The Weekend Rocks on singer with his own distinct voice. Leap of Faith, released in 2009, was in the Top 10 of the Americana charts for nine weeks and received praise from No Depression and Blues Revue, among others. Time Can Change is a distinct departure from its more polished predecessor. While fans will recognize the familiar rich tenor and bluesy guitar work, the new album trades the studio sophistication of Leap of Faith for a grittier sound and more intimate approach to songwriting. Keeping Real “The album is a snapshot of movement in my musical journey of sorts,” states Walker. “A culmination of the Variety in Music continuing search for a way to write, sing and record in a new way.” Tickets are $15 in advance, $17 at the door. Doors open at 8:00 pm and showtime is 9:00. ★ “Seth Walker swings, rocks, boogies, and plays low down blues all in one set, all on one record. He’s a great singer, and authentic performer of real American music, and he’s writing new classics. Don’t miss a chance to hear Seth. In person or on record, he’s the real deal.” — Marcia Ball
