Acclaimed folk musician Seth Lakeman is set to release his self-produced new album The Granite Way on 14th February 2025, with an accompanying headline UK tour to follow.
Releasing his debut album The Punch Bowl in 2002, it was the follow-up effort Kitty Jay from Devon musician Seth Lakeman that saw him catapulted into the spotlight after it received a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize in 2005. Multiple albums, tours and high-profile collaborations later, the acclaimed folk artist is now gearing up to release his latest studio effort The Granite Way, out on 14th February on his own label, Honour Oak Records. This is a collection of songs recorded alongside a group of longtime collaborators of Seth’s, staying true to his roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early West Country storytelling.
Seth Lakeman: ‘Each song feels strongly connected through history to the moors and the sea. I had written the stories and songs beforehand and had the melodic tunes ready for us all to explore when we recorded in the room, and the musical interplay between this lineup really displays their appetite for sounds and subjects within the folk tradition.’
This will be a full band tour, featuring musicians who contributed to the new album. They are Benji Kirkpatrick (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin and harmonica), Ben Nicholls (double bass and electric bass), Cormac Byrne (percussion and bodhrán), and Alex Hart (vocals).
