WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Green Man 07: Unlikeliest Sex Symbol...

Posted over 2 years ago
Seasick Steve's bio suggests he's had a hell of a life - from being a cowboy to migrant worker to hobo - there's not much he's not done.He's also appearing at EVERY SINGLE FESTIVAL in the UK this year, bringing his blues music to audiences everywhere. Occasionally playing a guitar with only 3 strings (and those are in the wrong place), and his Mississippi Disco Box drum (a wooden box that he kicks for rhythm), his act is a mix of good old fashioned blues tunes and story telling.Ask anyone that's seen any of his sets, and they'll tell you that the man is a legend. Able to entertain everyone from the very young to the very old - he had the audience captivated, and was the unlikely hit of Green Man festival.This video was shot last weekend, with Seasick Steve advising what to do to stop you getting infested by chigger bugs...All together now: "Ah wear mah socks up to mah knees....."

  3. Jonh Ingham says I keep reading about this guy. Serendipity and strangeness is what keeps music so interesting.
