Singer/songwriter Seth Adam is well known for his passionate live performances. The alt-country, rootsy rocker draws comparisons to Counting Crows, Will Hoge, and Son Volt. His latest studio release,"Steel Tempered Pride," delves further into folk, Americana, alt-country, and psychedelic explorations than previous efforts. New Haven Advocate writer James Velvet described his 2010 release,"Amplify":"This 10-song full-length is beautifully written, played and produced. This level of craftsmanship and polish are not often heard on the local scene." Never one to rely on the norms of the music industry, this self-described"scrapper" takes a page out of the Lucinda Williams instruction book by performing frequently and writing deeply personal, heartfelt rock & roll songs. He has shared the stage with Grammy-winning Robert Cray, Tonic, Vertical Horizon, Carbon Leaf, The Alternate Routes, Will Hoge, Gary Louris (The Jayhawks), Ken and Drew from Sister Hazel, and Mayer Hawthorne, has had a song licensed to Volkswagen, and was described by entertainment columnist Roger Friedman as"the hardest-working best live act in indie rock.""Steel Tempered Pride," released on September 24, 2013, features production credits by David Immergluck (Counting Crows, Camper Van Beethoven) on two tracks - 'Push And Pull' and 'Old Broken Ladder' (Immergluck also played bass on these tunes). The record also features bass performances by The Alternate Routes guitarist, Eric Donnelly ('New York City Bound', 'Troubled Times') and drum performances by"Rambiin'" Rob Heath (Justin Townes Earle, The Madison Square Gardeners) on 'Old Broken Ladder' and 'Push And Pull'. Guitarist Gerry Giaimo, mandolin player John Jackson, drums from Dennis DeMorro and Steve Tobey round out the rest of the album's tracks. Tours to follow throughout 2014.
