"I found Seth Martin shortly before holy!holy!holy! went on tour to the west coast. On a Monday, he opened the set up for us, the very next day, he not only opened the set, but joined the band. In the lineage of Utah Phillips, Pete Seeger and Ammon Hennacy, Seth has a lot of questions that are worth asking and the voice of an angel with which to ask them."

"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must pay for all they get. If we ever get free from all the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and, if needs be, by our lives, and the lives of others."--Frederick Douglass
Dear seth martin, It's after Halloween and the busy holidays are approaching. Take a break and drop by to listen to my featured songs.

Hi Seth! I'm going to be in PDX this weekend, hoping to catch a show tomorrow night. I see you're not playing. Any suggestions of who to see in a pub somewhere in Portland or the metro area?
