FLAGLER BEACH, Fla.—Sam Seas set his sails through motion through song at Finn’s Beachside Pub, on Aug. 6. It was part of the final competition round at independent artists’ night, before the finals. The event was sponsored by Red Stripe Beer and the judges were from WQFB Surf 97.3 FM. He was the opening act, along with: Next A’ Kin, Gail Carson, Bradley Griese and Michael Cooper. Jason Koivula was the direct support and Uncle Eddie and Robin was the headliner. Seas strummed the guitar, played the harmonica and foot tambourine.
Next A’ Kin’s vocalist and guitarist, Tony Paul Pearl, introduced Seas to the spectators. After he was introduced, he thanked everyone in attendance. Shortly after, he picked up one of his harmonicas from the chairs which stood next to him and placed it in the holder which was held in place by his neck. He spoke of how long he had been playing music. He placed the capo on one of the frets of his guitar and he began his recital with “Gypsy Season”.
Before he began his second song, “Open Wind”, he thanked the audience again. He went onto thank the venue for supporting local singers and songwriters. He continued to say how rare it was for him to find a venue which promotes musicians in such a way as the competition. He spoke of the inspiration behind the song and how it was about being free. While he did so, he exchanged his harmonica for one of a different note. He ended the song by completing the vocals and followed with an instrumental with both of his instruments.
Seas stated how women have blessed souls, prior to starting “Man Vs. Woman”. The female onlookers cheered, after he made the statement. As he continued to praise them, he replaced his harmonica and moved his capo to the third fret closest to the head of his guitar. During the instrumental, he incorporated all three instruments at once.
“Country Blues” ended Seas’ concert. He stated how the song was about him being homesick and how the transplants of Fla. can relate to it. He cited how he moved down to the state, after he had lived in W. Va. He continued by saying he lived in the state for 10 years. He removed his capo from his guitar and played on.
“Wallflower” was also part of Sam Seas’ set.
