Artist Bio

Samuel Seth Bernard

Born and raised on Earthwork Farm in Northern Michigan, Seth grew up surrounded by gardens, goats and stringed instruments, smack dab in the middle of a tightly woven circle of friends and family just outside Lake City. A fine small hometown. No shortage of churches, bars or lakes around. The teenage years sought and brought in influences of counter culture and pop culture. Delvings into mystic poetry, stand-up comedy, sixties music, professional sports and theater. Traveling around as a storyteller, point guard, sax player or singer/guitar player in bands with names like "Freesoil", "King Lear and the Gothic Monks" or "The Pagoda Trees".

From little Lake City to Interlochen Arts Academy to New York City back to mother Michigan. Ten thousand miles of Greyhound travel in between. Seth recorded his first album at his guitar teacher's home studio between 99 and 00 University of Michigan studies in ecological sustainability, poetry and the performing arts led to leaving college for a life of such things. Earthwork Music was a seed and now it has a life of its own!

The Earthwork Music Collective now has many albums and events to it's name, and more are in the works. A circle of friends. Bernard is still a point guard and a music maker of many colors. Daisy May is his partner. She is a friend of the world's. A beautiful songbird. They two have put their music together and hit the road.
