Seth Lakeman

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 today 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 year, 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.
