Seth Lakeman October/November UK tour dates announced
By bandweblogs on Jul 21, 2008 in Albums, Music, New Releases, Press Releases | Tags: Music, Sean Lakeman, Seth Lakeman, Tour Dates
Seth Lakeman, the West Country born singer songwriter credited with taking folk to a new audience with his rhythmic, urgent performances and lyrically engrossing albums, is set to take his highly touted live show on the road in October 2008 for his largest headline tour to date.
Seth's critically acclaimed third album 'Poor Man's Heaven' charted at number 8 in the UK on it's release earlier this month, an unprecedented achievement for a so-called 'folk inspired' artist.
Produced in large part by Seth's brother and fellow band member, Sean Lakeman, 'Poor Man's Heaven' (out now on Relentless) represents a progression for Seth's sound - while remaining firmly rooted in folk, it moves from a more acoustic-based feel to a fuller, rockier sound, underpinned as ever by emotive lyrics and story telling, this time with a strong coastal theme. It is also the closest representation on record of Seth's live show yet, capturing the rhythmic, raw energy seldom seen in any other acoustic band.
