Hey friends!

So the past few weeks my good good buddy/ producer Matthew Melton ( http://meltonemusic.virb.com/ ) for this EP & I have been doing pre production- Choosing together the songs for the EP & working through each of them to make them the best they possibly can be. It's been amazing. We've been putting lots of work into this project already and I can't tell you how excited I am to hear how these songs turn out myself. I think you're all going to be pleased with what we've been working on! It's such a fun process working through these 5 songs we've chosen and seeing them slowly but surely come to life. 

Keep watch as I'll start posting updates of our progress & all the immense fun that is to be had during the amazing process that is recording a record! 
We start tracking drums for this thing in about a week! So crazy! It's happening! Yeah buddy!

Until next time,

Seth

Hey friends!

It's been awhile... How ya been!?
Merry Christmas & Happy New Years to ya!
I don't know about you, but I've never been more excited about a year than 2012. For real.
I plan on hitting music harder than ever before. So keep watch and keeep me in mind will ya?
Your support means the world to me and without it I'd truly be nothing.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

On another note, here's a brand new song I just finished writing yesterday!
Look for a video to hopefully be posted soon...

Watching the people come and go
Sitting here just wanting to know
What's this for and how can I show
Why I'm here in the midst of rows
The rows of similar folks
Shooting for the exact same goal

I feel lost in a sea of mirrors
All the talent bringing out my fears
Showing me just what I've lacked all these years
It's a war that'll never end
And the more I try to learn to bend
There's a restlessness that haunts me again

And I know who I am is not what I do
But I wrestle with separating the to
Cause what makes my heart beat
Is the reason I need
To be known
So I hold on to hope & on to my dreams
With a loose grip not to tear them at the seems
And find myself in who made me
Cause that's where I need to be

And I wonder if ease will ever come
And if comfort will be closer than the sun
If this is home then I feel I should run
But I think im learning to live in tension
Though this life can be difficult for us
There is joy that depends on our trust

That's where I need 
Where i need, to be
That's where I need 
Where i need, to be
Right here in this space
This confusing place
I am free 

Peace & Love,

Seth Abram

Hey friends!
It's been too long i know... 
But i wanted to let you know that in a few weeks I'll be headed out onto the road for a quick week of playin shows again in Indiana and Ohio.  

Keep watch in the Dates where I'll be. 
Hopefully I'll see ya soon!

much love,

Seth Abram 

Tell me something
That will help me relax
Cause I've not stopped the breaking of my back
In far too long
And I just need some time
To find what I keep losing

And oh is there someone there
That could mend the bruises in my heart
And oh someone to share the weight that this consistently bares 

Remind me of how
Things used to be
When life was easier than it's right now
And I will breath in
And hope to find breath
To keep me moving forward 

And please don't take your time to help me
Cause I can't seem to find what I need
I've gotten far behind
And it seems like I don't mind that you're not there

But hear me I'm breaking in this moment
Come near to me and take my hand and show me
The ways in which I find
Freedom from the lies I'm told 

If it's true I'm more blind
With every mistake
Then I don't know how I will ever see
But I will believe
That the fact that I know
What I just wrote will keep me 

Hello lovely friends!

Wanted to let you know that I just posted some new shows!
Click on the "Dates" button to see!

Peace & Love,

Hello good friends!

It's been way way too long since I've updated this, so I'm breaking the silence!

So what's been goin on?

Well here are just a few things that have transpired in the past few months/weeks/days:

My wife Sarah & I moved away from South Bend, IN to Nashville, TN. It was and still is hard being away from the community of deep relationships we had there, but we know we are supposed to be here.
I've mainly just been going to shows, meeting with people, trying to make contacts & connections, writing a lot, and trying real hard to book a show. (unlike Indiana, there are hundreds of venues here with thousands of others exactly like me trying to get in... what am i thinking! haha)

I've written some new songs and got a bunch in the works. I'm also on the hunt for some friends to co-write with.

We've only been in TN for about 6 weeks now and I feel like I've learned a lot already, but see oh so very much the huge amount that I have yet to learn. I had a full time job working 60 hrs a week or more until last week when I quit that because I realized It's not what I moved to Nashville for. So now I'm workin on the part time job deal which is giving me finally time & energy to write and think and try and book shows and do whatever needs done to pursue this artist thing full time that I'm working towards.
I'm constantly working on getting better as a songwriter and really been trying to learn to write from an even deeper place than ever before. I have experienced soooo much already since being here, so I should have a lot to write about!

Anyways, things are going well. I got to play 3 different places in one night downtown on Broadway a few weeks ago and have had a few really cool experiences that have sort of just fallen in my lap. Pretty crazy.
I'm very excited & hopeful for what is happening and is going to happen with this move of faith to Nashville. 

This is getting long now so I'll leave you with saying that I'm gonna do better at keeping this updated!
And going to try and get some iphone videos of some new songs to show you soon.

Some real good things are in the works friends...
Prayers greatly appreciated,

Much love,

Seth Abram 

So if you didn't hear, somehow the EP got placed on the front of the Singer/Songwriter page last week on iTunes and it debuted in the number TEN spot! So amazing, so unexpected, so flipping awesome!

So I must thank YOU, the fans, my family! For making this happen.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

What an amazing feeling, seriously...

Tidings of comfort & joy,

Seth

Bandcamp!


So if you've checked out the website at all you've probably noticed the 3 possible ways of buying my new EP, iTunes, Amazon, & Bandcamp. "Itunes, Amazon, & what was that last one??" some of you may be thinking. Well let me give you some info on why I would love for you to by my record on Bandcamp.


First off, Bandcamp offers a lot of things that iTunes & Amazon does not. 
Here's a few:
On Bandcamp you can listen to a whole record before buying anything.
On Bandcamp and only Bandcamp you can get a lyric sheet and a bonus orchestral mix track.
Bandcamp gives you more formats for downloading than the other options do.
On Bandcamp you can purchase a physical cd & digital copy together in 1 click!
On Bandcamp your purchase goes directly to the artist with minimal commissions taken; about half as much as iTunes.
Also on Bandcamp is the option of paying as much for the cd as you believe its worth. There is a minimum I've set as the same price it is on iTunes, but you can leave a tip if you want to!


In general, Bandcamp is simply just more friendly and accessible to independent artists.


Here are a few more heartening factoids from the website:

• On Bandcamp, albums outsell tracks 5 to 1 (in the rest of the music buying world, tracks outsell albums 16 to 1).
• On name-your-price albums, fans pay an average of 50% more than whatever you set as your minimum.
• We've driven 783,248 paid transactions and served 11,938,437 downloads to happy fans.
