Bio 
Seth Anderson has spent his time on earth on a journey; in search of his truth, purpose, and an understanding of the world around him and his place in it. His songwriting offers an honest view of life from a unique perspective that has stemmed from years of travelling, moving from town to town, city to city, highway to highway; the high peaks, the low valleys, and all the spaces in between. Through all of this, there maintains one common thread- a bellow for love and hope. Few artists have such an intense emotional connection to their craft and this is where he shines. His delivery is genuine, yet at times ferocious with both conviction and vulnerability, comparative to artists such as John Moreland, Chuck Ragan, and Frank Turner. Seth’s musical intensity crawls up your backbone making the hairs stand on your neck while adding goose bumps on your skin. His evolution began in a small town punk scene where he grew up in Hartland, New Brunswick. It was then followed by years of a blue-collar approach to his career, putting in thousands of miles while taking his music to audiences all over the world. His highly anticipated February, 2020 release, “We Could Be.” (Snappy Little Numbers), is another impressive step forward for Seth in his exploration of songwriting, musical styles and sounds. 

"There’s a rebellious spirit to Seth Anderson’s music that makes you want to break all the rules around you and finally get out into the world to live the life you’ve always dreamed of having. It’s sweet release that his music offers that makes his sound so addictive with his latest single Highway Lights making me want to sing out loud for all the world to her without a care in the world. 

The production has this thrilling momentum that builds throughout the opening until you’re sat there bopping your head along to the slick guitar riffs and smiling from ear to ear because of those brilliant written lyrics. It’s the atmosphere of this track though that really sets it apart from other songs out there, it has this pure happiness about it mixed with these bittersweet moments that makes it something that you’ll be crying tears of pure joy whilst dancing around and listening to this anthem of a song."
