Deft picking and a voice filled with innocence and candor are his hallmarks. And then there's the poetry, "...born into a culture of entertainment addicts, our lives have become unconsciously cinematic."
Editorial review
For a guy who was making his first album, Seth Bernard doesn't sound the least bit tentative on Hello Fellow Travelers -- this is an ambitious and eclectic set of folk rock that's by turns jazzy, funky, hard-grooving and down home. With the exception of a swinging cover of Dick Siegel's "Angelo's", Bernard wrote all thirteen songs on this album, and his stylistic range is as impressive as his way with a melody. Bernard's simple but emphatic guitar work and thoughtful arrangements -- from the stripped-down country rock of "Nammet" to the string-driven Eastern-meets-Celtic sorrow of "Kosovo" -- reveal a impressive depth for a self-produced first-time effort. Bernard isn't quite as impressive as a singer, sometimes revealing his limitations when he reaches for the high notes, and his lyrics lean towards a hippie-ish simplicity which sounds silly or facile as often as they seems wise. But musically, Hello Fellow Travelers is impressive stuff, especially for a young musician supervising himself during his first visit to the studio, and it suggests this is an artist with a bright future ahead. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"As an editor of many books on music, a question I am often asked is: 'Are there any singer/songwriters on the way up out there, as good as the great communicators of the past, like perhaps a young Woody Guthrie?' Until now I never really had much of anyone to suggest. However, a young Michigan musician/entertainer/storyteller, Seth Bernard is more than just a minor talent. He is a singer, a songwriter, and also a true entertainer whose music and broad vision is not only felt by an audience, but will also in time, I predict, embrace more than a few other hardened so-called music critics and experts, like myself. Bernard is a rare bird, an authentic communicator with the right idea for these times. Give him a listen. By all means, see him in person."
-Founder of the All-Music Guide
"Seth Bernard wields an acoustic guitar, a powerful stage presence and a fiercely contagious spirit."

-Hobart Taylor, Crazy Wisdom Music
"A cool breath of fresh, jazzy folk from the north country."
-Ann Arbor Current
"...He's a wordmonger of the first order - playful, exuberant, smart and original - with a musical sophistication beyond his years."
