Singer-songwriter Seb Wesson is returning to The Horn to promote his new album, ‘The Man from the Moon’.
The gig is on December 13 and kicks off at 8pm.
Having cut his teeth working with UK band Munkster, Seb is also the current guitarist in the band Captain and contributor to projects such as Misdirectors, a Captain side project. Recently he has been focussing on his solo writing projects which began with the Tigers EP in 2017.
His current record is the sum of the last few years of creativity and collaboration – including the lockdown – and draws from influences such as Elliott Smith, Damien Rice, and Tom Petty.
It includes input from a collection of incredible musicians including Paul Stewart and Ciaran Jeremiah from The Feeling, Iain Hornal of 10CC and ELO, Alex Yeoman from Captain, Alex Richards of Mohair as well as Sinéad Quinn, Hope Winter and Stuart Wilkinson.
Song topics include an alien, losing a loved one, Japanese tsunamis, Elliott Smith, relationships and tumultuous political times and are drawn from personal experiences.
Most of the tracking was done in Seb’s home studio using a single Shure SM7B Mic given to him by his brother and the main guitar amp for the album is a 1968 Fender Pro Reverb found dumped outside of a London guitar shop with the rubbish. Seb rescued it and it was rebuilt by his good friend and another musical collaborator Luke Scurr.
In his various guises, Seb has vast live experience, from playing solo, to stripped-down folky, line-ups, and dials-fully-up rock. As well as being top of the bill he has opened for the likes of Ash, Ocean Colour Scene, Dr Feelgood, Biffy Clyro, Damien Rice and recently for the Nik Kershaw UK and Germany tour in 2023.
