Brighton-based singer-songwriter Seany Clarke brings a warm, inviting sound, blending elements of folk, soul, jazz, and pop with laid-back swagger, individual flair, and a retro look that reflects his artistic roots. Inspired by music legends like Curtis Mayfield and Elvis Costello, his earthy style - featuring rhythmic fingerstyle acoustic guitar and intimate vocals - explores the rich tapestry of human emotions and experiences.

Recent and Upcoming Releases 

In 2023, Seany’s album First Aid Kit tells a heartfelt story, kicking off with the vibrant single 'Busy O (Kickin’ Me Some Ass),' a dreamy tale of redemption and revenge. Now, he’s gearing up to share his new single 'Don’t You Care Anymore?' on 21 March 2025. This track, with its wry and comical take on lost love, gives a sneak peek into his upcoming album, Think I’ve Said Too Much, out in June.
