Seth Walker opened for the Mavericks this past Saturday night (2/18/23) at The Carolina Theatre. Seth, who attended New Garden Friends School in Greensboro, grew up in a musical family. His dad, Scott Walker was the orchestra teacher at Greensboro Day School.  Summers, his dad hosts a fiddle camp, aptly named the “Walker Family Band Fiddle Camp. Growing up in a musical family, he comes by his musical talent honestly.

Seth is a guitarist, and blues and jazz singer, within the Americana genre. Also a prolific singer-songwriter,  Seth has released 10 albums, and tours extensively. In addition to being an accomplished performance artist, he is also a visual artist (see his CDs and visual art  HERE). While he now calls nearby Asheville home, it was nice seeing him back in Greensboro playing. Since Seth has co-written songs with members of  The Mavericks, his music fit perfectly with theirs. The above photo was taken in the lobby of The Carolina Theatre, where we caught up with Seth spending time with old friends and fans. Our visit to The Carolina Theatre was timely as Nancy McLaughlin’s article about renovation efforts at the theatre is just out in the News & Record.

Happy President’s Day, always the third Monday of February!
