Brighton-based singer-songwriter Seany Clarke delivers an "intriguing take on 21st-century life", weaving aspects of folk, soul, and jazz with individual flair. Inspired by legends like Curtis Mayfield and Elvis Costello, Clarke’s earthy style often invites listeners on a heartfelt, intimate journey through human relationships with his rhythmic finger-style acoustic guitar and delicate vocals.

 

His latest album, "First Aid Kit," released in February 2023, weaves a compelling narrative following the lead single, "Busy O (Kickin' Me Some Ass)," a vivid dreamscape of redemption and revenge. Seany hasn't been keeping this experience to himself – 2023 has seen him perform across the South of England, from the Good Vibrations Society Festival to intimate venues in Brighton and London. 

 

Seany's previous releases, including "Have You Had Enough?" (2021), "When the Craving Comes" (2021), and "Breathe" (2020), delve into profound themes, addressing issues like smartphone addiction and advocating for equality. His earlier albums, like Familiar Strangers (2019) and I Can Resist Anything But Temptation (2016), reveal a consistent commitment to exploring the intricacies of the human experience.

 

Beyond his solo career, Seany Clarke has been involved in notable collaborations, such as being a co-writer, singer, and guitarist for Hardkandy (Catskills Records / Wah Wah 45s) and playing a pivotal role in Chungking (Gut Records) as a bass player and lead guitarist. With a rich musical history and performances on major stages across the UK and Europe, Seany Clarke invites listeners to unravel the intricate tapestry of life through his thought-provoking lyrics and soul-stirring music.
