Band Members

Amaya ThompsonThe "rousing vocals" of singer Amaya Thompson bring a powerful, clear voice to the band, and her honest delivery has been described as "a breath of fresh air" (Andy Creeggan of Barenaked Ladies and Brothers Creeggan ). Although she joined the band two years after it began, Amaya immediately felt right at home. "We are really good friends," she says, "and you don't often see that - people who can still stand each other after seven years of being in a band together. I see these guys as my family." This family dynamic, along with Amaya 's charm and quick wit on stage make Uncle Seth's live performances not to be missed.


Chris PatheigerChris Patheiger brings his extensive education and performance experience to the band as drummer and percussionist. While Chris is the newest official member of Uncle Seth, he played with them as a sub for a number of years and contributed to two cuts on Lame Suburban Poetry.


Jay MoonahAlso a founding member, Jay Moonah 's "superb harmonica styling" (Independent Weekly ), self-empowering lyrics, and boundless energy on stage are a vital part of the Uncle Seth formula.

Here's the last few things Jay listened to on his computer:

   About Uncle Seth

Amaya : I have a stage tradition. I like to find out what kind of underwear the guys have on.

Jay: I'm generally not superstitious, but I have noticed that if Amaya doesn't ask everybody what colour their underwear is, the show doesn't go as well. But part of me is convinced she does it so she can tell us about all the great underwear she's bought.

Amaya : I have enough underwear to wear three pairs a day for three months without doing laundry.

From its inception in 1999, Uncle Seth hasn't stopped performing its "exuberant and accomplished mix of pop, rock, acoustic folk, twisty grooves, tender ballads, and pretty melodies, topped off by.rousing vocals" ( PIC Press , Kingston).

Uncle SethUncle Seth's 2002 debut album Lame Suburban Poetry received rave reviews, finished third in the 2003 Songs Revealed Competition , and was heard on CBC Canada-wide. The 2005 EP Forgive & Forget, Volume One captures their distinctive sound with three live next to three studio-produced songs. Melodic songwriting, inspired lyrics, adventurous instrumentation, and lively vocals make this band a stand-out, which is why they were named Dose Magazine 's Artist of the Week in April 2005.

Uncle Seth has honed its spirited live performance to "a show , as opposed to playing a list of songs". Forging a relationship with the audience is key to Uncle Seth's success as a live band. "I like that we try to get the audience to engage," says lead singer Amaya Thompson. "A lot of what we do is really relatable." And when halfway through a set the band dons acoustic instruments and parades through the crowd, encouraging them to sing along, they do. And they dance. And they laugh. And when the show culminates in a climactic finish, the audience always leaves grinning.

But the changing music industry has inspired Uncle Seth to be innovative in its approach to releasing recorded music. "MP3 devices have changed the way people listen to music," they explain. "People are downloading, concentrating on songs rather than albums. A big internet trend is podcasting."

So Uncle Seth recorded a brilliant, bouncy cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" - available on iTunes and the band's web site - and released it online. The single has garnered attention from podcasts and online shows, inspiring Uncle Seth to continue releasing both covers and originals on the internet. This has certainly given the band more of a reach: "We're providing music in a format where the most people can get it the easiest and the most cost-effectively."

Uncle Seth's growing audience, evolving stage show, considerable creative output, and new online method of delivering music signals an exciting and intriguing future for the band. The members are all committed to Uncle Seth's growth and will continue to "write and perform new music, and broaden our following of people who want to hear us."

Uncle Seth is Amaya Thompson on lead vocals, Jay Moonah on bass and harmonica, and Chris Patheiger on drums and percussion.

Hi, the reverbnation tools are cool, by hitting play you hear the songs right away and with share you can place them on any kind of blog or platform, I like that, it is a big support for musicians, if you are with facebook then let's become friends there, it is much easier to communicate, have a great day.
