From the early days of Red Fox Run to the recent foray with Wildermiss, Seth Beamer has always been an artist we admire. A new solo project has been his main priority as of late and we are excited to share his upcoming show tomorrow night at The Black Buzzard here in Denver. We often say talent grows from past projects and the ups-and-downs of learning We had a chance to hear some of Beamer’s new music and we can can certainly vouch for what he is about to release.
Seth Beamer is a Denver-based songwriter and all-around artist whose melodic musical style and lyrical transparency open a door into the universal. Characterized by a direct and genuine voice, Seth’s self-described genre is “Shameless Alt Indie.” A lifelong musician with an innate talent for playing by ear, Seth takes inspiration indiscriminately and can turn a half-heard melody into something completely new.
Seth’s style of musical composition, historically an ode to his deep appreciation of music theory, now moves away from principle and towards honest, renegade self-expression. Inspired by life’s trials, Seth’s most recent solo project applies varying influences—from jazz to pop and punk to indie—to produce songs that are at times candid and poignant and others uptempo and angsty.
Former founding member and guitarist of indie rock band, Wildermiss, Seth was also previously the bassist for local quartet Red Fox Run. During his tenure with his various Denver-grown bands, Seth has played at—and, more often than not, sold out—venues including the Bluebird Theater, Larimer Lounge, and Red Rocks. He has toured with national bands, The Oh Hellos, Jared & The Mill, and Bronze Radio Return; performed on the main stages at Westword Music Showcase and Underground Music Showcase, and was recognized as a winner of both 93.3’s Hometown for the Holidays and Big Gig. Seth has twice performed live on Last Call with Carson Daily.
With a mastery of instruments—piano, guitar, drums, and bass—a musical resume inclusive of competitive drumline, band, and percussion, and bachelor’s degrees in jazz bass and audio engineering, it is no surprise that Seth is a sought-after session player and performer. A member of or rotating regular in countless projects over the years, Seth has played with notable artists such as Rob Drabkin, Eldren, Brent Cowles, One Flew West, Andy Sydow, Lazer & Levi, Cristina Vane, and Pandas & People. Seth has had successful sync placements on MTV, Intuit QuickBooks advertisements, Colorado Tourism, Denver’s Covid-19 Stay-at-Home public service announcements, and the ever-popular Sesame Street.
