Uncle Seth NewsThursday, November 10, 2022 Uncle Seth reunite to cover Dolly Parton's "Jolene" Early 2000s indie roots-rock band Uncle Seth reunited recently to record a boisterous and bluesy version of Dolly Parton’s classic “Jolene”, as a tribute for her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. The single will be available via all major digital services on November 11. Formed in Scarborough in 1999, Uncle Seth were a staple of the Ontario music scene until their break-up in 2007. During their time together they released an LP, an EP, and a handful of singles. The band became darlings of the early independent podcast community, which helped them score showcases at podcasting events and music conferences in Toronto, Kingston, Boston, and New York. No strangers to reinterpreting songs by iconic women, Uncle Seth received a Toronto Independent Music Award in 2006 for their version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides, Now.” Uncle Seth went through a variety of line-up changes over their time, and the new recording brings together players from across the history of the band. Mainstay members Amaya Thompson (lead vocals), Jeff Jones (guitar), and Jay Moonah (harmonica) are featured on “Jolene”. Moonah has recently achieved notoriety with his one-man blues band Broke Fuse, including a nomination for New Artist at the 2022 Maple Blues Awards. Jenn Kee, a founding Uncle Seth member and veteran of Classic Albums Live and Brit Floyd, provides backing vocals. The recording is rounded out by a robust rhythm section featuring Drew Moncarz (bass), Mark Kitchen (percussion), and dual drummers Chris Patheiger and Frank Baraczka. Renowned producer/engineer Brian Moncarz (known for his work with Alice Cooper, Our Lady Peace, The Trews, Julian Taylor, Philip Sayce, and countless others) recorded the band at Hapi Hipi Studios in King City, with Jones producing and mixing the track. “Jolene” (Dolly Parton) - 3:43 Performed by Uncle Seth Produced, mixed, and mastered by Jeff Jones Recorded by Brian Moncarz at Hapi Hipi Studios, King City, Ontario, Canada Amaya Thompson - lead vocals Jeff Jones - guitar, clavinet, additional percussion Jay Moonah - harmonica, accordion, backing vocals Drew Moncarz - bass Mark Kitchen - percussion Chris Patheiger - drums Frank Baraczka - drums Jenn Kee - backing vocals Website: www.musicface.com/uncleseth Saturday, August 13, 2022 Lame Suburban Poetry 20th Anniversary remasterUncle Seth’s full length debut Lame Suburban Poetry has been remastered for release on August 15, 2022 via all digital stores and streaming services. The 15th marks the exact 20th anniversary from the record’s original release in 2002.  Perennially on the verge of the cusp of something greater, Uncle Seth truly found its voice in the kind of song craft that is fully on display in Lame Suburban Poetry. These songs have since been painstakingly remastered in lossless audio from Brian Moncarz’s brilliant original mixes this release includes pristine versions of all 15 original tracks. Also being released this month, is an EP called Lame Suburban Demos, which is exactly what it sounds like, and Playing Shaker (and other things best left unseen), a collection of ‘lost’ Uncle Seth recordings that speak to the personality and experience of the band better than anything else.

Monday, September 04, 2006 Podcasting PSA - "You Don't Need An iPod"
Back in July, I did an interview with John C. Haven's from the About.com Guide To Podcasting about Uncle Seth's involvement with, well, podcasting. After we did the interview, John asked if Uncle Seth would be interested in recording a "public service announcement" about podcasting, and in particular emphasizing that listening to podcasts does NOT require an iPod (a common misconception). We thought this sounded like fun, so John sent along some rough lyrics. We worked these up into a little ditty, and I created some kooky-animation to go along with it.
We released this on YouTube yesterday. Hope you enjoy it! Please comment here or on the YouTube site, and feel free to share with your friends and colleagues via the nifty "Share" button in the window. Oh yeah, there's also an MP3 version on this page for podcasters (and anyone else) to play. It's 100% "podsafe" John, thanks again for inviting us to do this, and we look forward to seeing you (and many others) at PodCamp in Boston!

This past Sunday, Uncle Seth were invited to perform at the Mariposa Showcase at the Highwayman Inn in Orillia.

We'd also like to congratulate the winners: Michael Laderoute, Fig for a Kiss and StoneFox.

Hey folks! A very quick note about a couple of Seth events in the next few days.
Today (Saturday) we will be part of "Canadian Music Fan Fare", a unique event happening at Reilly's (3340 Yonge Street, right across the street from Sam The Record Man). The action goes from 1 pm until 7 pm. We, along with 30 other independent artists and labels, will be selling CDs and other merch. Note that I'll also have Matt Osborne CDs and t-shirts if anyone still has to pick those up (and if you haven't, you should!) On Thursday, we'll be a part of a Green Party Fund Raising Concert, hosted by Brian Gladstone at Renaissance Cafe (1938 Danforth Ave., near Woodbine.) Whether or not you are likely to vote the Green Party, they have an important message that needs to be heard - global climate change is one of the most important issues of our times, and the major parties feet must be kept to the fire on this. We in Uncle Seth feel the Greens deserve and need a strong voice, so please come out and give generously. Speaking of the Renaissance, stay tuned for news of the 6th Uncle Seth anniversary party happening there on December 30th - lots of fun details to come. Tuesday, November 22, 2005 PWYC in November

Next Friday (the 14th) you can catch Seth along with our friends Factor Fiction and Tranquil at the Black Swan Tavern at Broadview and Danforth. Doors open at 9 pm, Uncle Seth will be second on the bill. Sunday, September 18, 2005 Nominated! Toronto Independent Music Awards
