In early 2009, I was commissioned to write a song for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation called ‘Tomorrow Will Come’. Very soon thereafter, I met a manager from ATN Management named Jennifer DaRe. We started working together right away. She introduced me to producer Lior Goldenberg (Vanessa Carlton, Alanis Morissette, Blink 182). Lior and I also got to work right away. We've completed a recording of ‘Tomorrow Will Come’ and a rough mix of ‘As My Heart Breaks’. Both tracks are on my player now. I was able to get Shane Mayo (The Hanks) on drums, Ian Schaeffer (Wheat and The Forward) on bass, Josh Smith (Rafael Sadiq, Taylor Hicks) on guitar and Jeremy Rubolino (Queen, Kate Bush, Eric Clapton) for string arrangements. This album is what I consider to be, by far, the best stuff I have ever done.
You can catch up on my professional accomplishments below:
Wil Seabrook has lived a creative lifetime in his few years in the music business. An indie deal as a singer/songwriter led to extensive touring throughout the US and press tours of the UK, culminating in a major label deal with Maverick/Warner Bros. A year spent touring with world class groups from Dave Matthews Band to Sister Hazel ended with the release of the band’s self-titled EP, with the first single charting at AAA and commercial radio and being featured on TV shows such as “Dawson’s Creek.” The band returned to their indie routine with their follow up CD, “Inside”, touring relentlessly and selling thousands of copies at live shows all over the country.
After a year of songwriting and pre-production, Wil went into the studio in June of 2007 with Michael Duff (Chalk Farm, Rusty Truck) co-producing, and with mixes by Tony Phillips (Seal) and mastering help from Kevin McNoldy (Dave Matthews, OAR), the new release, One Dozen Summers debuted on August 14th, 2007.
In January of 2008 Wil inked a deal with Australian indie producer Jamie X. The 4-song EP produced by Jamie and including a who’s who of Australia’s top musicians as well as mastering by Bob Ludwig (Coldplay, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones) was finished in June 2008. The "How You Fall" EP as well as the "One Dozen Summers" full length album are available now for digital download and CD order at wilseabrook.com as well as on iTunes.
In the summer of 2009 Wil went into the studio with producer Lior Goldenberg (Sheryl Crow/Macy Gray/CSNY) to record a full length album. The result, "Exit To Temple Street", is Wil's finest work to date.
