Seth Augustus's 2010 Concert History

Seth Augustus sings and howls surreal tales in a throaty voice reminiscent of the old Delta songsters. His original and haunting songs draw from many and diverse influences. After having been in several mutated punk bands in Boston and San Francsico, he stumbled upon Tuvan throatsinging (a rare vocal technique) and was instantly smitten. Ironically, this fascination with the music of a far away land brought him right back home and ignited an obsession with the Delta Blues of the 1920s-1930s.
