Warner Music Artist

Artist Bio

Seasick Steve isn't like other blues artists.
He makes ramshackle music on homemade instruments and shows a complete disregard for the purism of "traditional" blues. Perhaps that's why so many people have fallen in love with his music in recent years.

Seasick – now in his 60s – has led an eventful life: he ran away from home at 13 to escape an abusive stepfather, wandered the USA for decades, then settled in the American Northwest, where he became a record engineer and personal friend of Kurt Cobain. After relocating to Oslo in 2001 with his wife and children, Seasick finally decided to commit some of his own song to tape. His 2004 debut, Cheap, became a word-of-mouth success in Europe, and led to his current partnership with Warner Bros. Now, with his new album I Started Out With Nothin' and I Still Got Most of it Left, the Seasick Steve phenomenon is spreading from Europe to the rest of the world.
‘I Started Out With Nothing…’ debuted in the Top 10 of the album chart and sold over 250,000 copies, making Seasick Steve one of the hottest ‘new’ artists around. Since then, he’s sold-out major shows including a prestigious Royal Albert Hall date, charmed every festival from Glastonbury to Latitude and became the oldest Brit Award nominee in history.

Now Seasick Steve returns with ‘Man From Another Time,’ a resolutely organic album that eschews modern studio trickery in favour of the warm style of ‘live’ analogue recording. Everything on the album was performed by Seasick Steve, aside from drums which are again credited to his longstanding Swedish sticksman Dan Magnusson.
