UPPER LAKE — The annual winter and spring “Concerts with Conversation” series at the Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake continues on Sunday April 28 at 3 p.m. with Steve Seskin playing at Riffe’s Meeting House next to the hotel.
Seskin, one of the leading country songwriters and entertainers in the business today, will be backed by David Landon, a master guitarist and songwriter in his own right.
“David Landon is a good friend whose band we’ve lucky to have at the Blue Wing on occasion,” says Tallman owner Bernie Butcher. “When David mentioned that he’d done a number of fun educational gigs with the great Steve Seskin, I jumped at the chance to book them both for a concert.”
Seskin is popular in Nashville and throughout the country for his songwriting skills. His material has been recorded by Tim McGraw, Neal McCoy, John Michael Montgomery, Kenny Chesney, Collin Raye, Peter Frampton, Waylon Jennings, Peter Paul and Mary and many others.
Seskin has won many awards over a long career. His song “Don’t Laugh At Me” was a finalist for CMA “Song of the Year” in 1999 and he was nominated to the Nashville Songwriters Association Hall of Fame in 2014.
Steve enjoys mentoring other songwriters and playing his own material in front of people interested in learning more about the songwriting process.
Singer, songwriter and guitarist David Landon began his professional career in Paris, where he was a steady fixture in the European club and festival circuit. David returned to the US in 1995 and has since formed his own band, released 5 CDs and played in countless recording sessions. He and his band are a favorite at the Blue Wing and he has been featured at the annual Blue Wing Blues Festival.
