Seth Yacovone Band

Seth Yacovone Band, an eclectic blend of blues, rock, americana, funk, metal and jam influences, was born in Burlington VT in 1995. The band started after then 15-year-old Seth Yacovone (guitarist, vocalist) won some studio time at a guitar contest and a band was formed and gigs were booked. After two albums as Seth Yacovone Blues Band, the quartet with Luke Boggess (Harmonica and vocals) ended. Tommy Coggio (bassist 1996- 2010) remained with Seth as the band transformed into the trio format in 1999, shortly after the arrival of Steve Hadeka (drummer) who pushed Seth musically and the band began to explore music beyond straight blues, shortening the name to Seth Yacovone Band (SYB). Bringing the songs of Yacovone to life, the trio brought excitement to the Northeast music scene and beyond, creating music that defied their traditional blues reputation and pushed the band further. Seth was invited as a guest of the band Phish in 1998, joining the group for a performance of his original song “All the Pain Through the Years” and a cover of the Derek the Dominoes classic “Layla”, exposing Seth and SYB to a whole new audience.

With the lineup solidified, Seth Yacovone Band began recording the first album under that name, "Dannemora," in 1999, released in 2000 followed by “Standing on the Sound” in 2001, and a live album “In a Moment” in 2003. These albums along with constant road worked helped solidify SYB’s reputation as a passionate, fiery live improvisational rock n roll band with songs to back it up.

During this time, SYB opened for legendary acts such as BB King, Ray Charles, Dr. John. The Neville Brothers, Johnny Winter, Little Feat, Trey Anastasio and Gov’t Mule. The band toured from Maine to Florida to Colorado and two trips to Italy, where crowds ate up the band’s blues rock weirdness.

Despite their rising success, the journey was not without its challenges. The pressures of constant touring and the demands of the music industry took a toll on the band. Calling it quits in 2005, they reunited for runs in 06 and 09. Seth made a double album with Steve Hadeka on drums in 2008, “Land of Split Decision” with a Vermont all-star cast featuring many SYB fan favorites.

In 2013, Bassist Alex Budney joined forces with Steve and Seth, and after a few rehearsals, it was decided that this was in fact, a new version of Seth Yacovone Band and the wheels started turning. Seth Yacovone Band was back, made stronger than ever due to the rock- solid chemistry of Budney and Hadeka propelling Yacovone on to higher heights and a more consistent overall package. With maturity and years, the lineup “Going to 11” andbeyond, a true group mind, unattainable without musicians spending years playing together, has emerged, at the best times the three playing as one. Two albums have been released, 2016’s “Shovel Down”, 2018’s “Welcome” as well as an EP “Thanks”, answering longtime fans wishes for brand new Seth Yacovone Band recordings. The band has continued to be a powerful live act, finding new avenues and a harder edged sound.

Seth Yacovone Band is a testament to their unwavering passion for music and bringing people together through live music. Ignoring trends, fads or expectations, they’ve displayed a commitment to following their muses, wherever they may lead.

As they continue to create and perform, Seth Yacovone Band remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of their music, seeking honesty in dishonest times.
