I’ll be playing a show with my brother Cory at Andy’s in Chestertown, Maryland this Friday August 25th. Click here for a poster!
To whet your appetite, here’s a Seznec Brothers song from a few months ago: Seznec Brothers – Sez Bone Howl
(you all may recognize this song as our version of the Groanbox Boys song “Sea Bone Howl”)
Here’s another Seznec Brothers song, one of two we recorded today:
Seznec Brothers – My Boat
[edit: that link works now, sorry about that]
Some of you may remember the “original” version I recorded on my own in March…this new and improved version has vocal harmonies and a gourd banjo (and we sped it up a bit). I think it’s much better, but you can compare and see for yourselves, if you like!
I bought a microphone stand the other day…I decided to test it out by getting my brother to play in front of my microphones. Here’s one of the songs that came out, some good old fingerpickin’ blues:
Cory Seznec – Search the Ocean
(this is also available on the Seznec Bros site)
Also, you may have noticed that I’ve redesigned this blog a bit. I found the old design a bit hard to read…please let me know what you think! Does it work in Windows? Does the header font look cool?
Here’s a new Seznec Brothers tune for you, recorded yesterday in our bedroom. We’re not sure if it’s finished yet, I might add a piano track one day. More is coming soon!
The Seznec Brothers website has been completely overhauled. The old one looked nice, but was hard to update, slow to load, and didn’t really make much sense. The new one looks nice and trendy.
Cory and Michael and I are going off to a mastering studio today to finish up the Groanbox Boys album. I’m excited.
Today my brother Cory recorded a charango track, as well as some backup vocals, for the version of “Down in the Willow Garden” that I recorded in January. Give it a listen, and you can compare it to the old version if you like!
The Seznec Brothers – Down in the Willow Garden
This song isn’t finished, by any means. My brother and I are going to work on it a lot, probably add a banjo part, some more verses, and plenty of vocal harmonies. But I thought you might enjoy it!
In other news, I’m now working on three freelance sound design projects, and a fourth may be starting up this week. It’s a great feeling, and if I get my clients’ permission I may be able to post a couple samples up on this blog.
Here’s a little song I recorded yesterday morning:
Down in the willow garden.
(I didn’t write it, it’s an old traditional song, played by everyone from the Kossoy Sisters to Simon and Garfunkel).
It’s just a live take of me with my guitar in my room. Nothing fancy, but I thought it would be interesting to make such a sparse recording, since I usually add so much.
Also, Aurelia came over yesterday to build the set for our short film. It already looks really cool! It has telephone poles and a road and a sky, and the car is nearly finished. Pictures soon.
I’m back in Pittsburgh after a pleasant trip to the Farm, where I hung out with my family, split and sold some firewood, and played a fun show in Chestertown with my brother.
Speaking of my brother, he recorded a really cool gourd banjo track for a new song I’ve been working on. I finished it up yesterday, and I think it’s pretty nice. I’m going to use it in my next sound documentary, which I hope to finish before my trip to the UK in a couple of weeks.

Finally! My brother and I have a website for our music!
Go check it out! There’s some new music on there.
The past few days have been spent working on the rest of the tracks that we recorded in October, so check back soon for more Seznec Brothers music.
