Blues Player Seth Walker Has a Fine New Album, Touring Southeast Now

One of the nicest new recordings to come across festgrrl’s desk so far this year is Seth Walker’s  new album, Sky Still Blue.

If you like slinky modern blues guitar, swinging soulful vocals and a steppy groove that’ll have you dancing in your kitchen, you’re going to love Walker’s album. This is a carefully balanced record that has elements of jazz, blues, gospel, swing, and funk, and showcases Walker's blues guitar work.

Walker came out of North Carolina’s roots tradition, and made his way through the music-soaked environs of Austin, Texas, Nashville, Tennessee, and now calls New Orleans home. He is an excellent live performer who gets everybody dancing.

Lucky for us he’s got a Southeastern tour happening now, with stops in New Orleans (June 20,) Tallahassee (June 21,) St. Petersburg (June 22,) Charlotte (June 24,) Asheville (June 25,) Greensboro (June 26,) Chattanooga (June 27,) Decatur, Georgia (June 28,) and Montgomery, Alabama (June 29.)

Check out this tune from the new record:
