MUSIC
I started out as songwriter with Chappell Music Co. in New York City writing songs for a myriad of popular recording artists (see: Timeline). It was a dream job.
As a recording artist myself, I’ve made four solo albums. I’ve also made three albums with my band The Red Button who would be categorized as “Sunshine” or “Beatles Pop”.
“Seth’s music is a sonic bouquet of delicious melodies, melt-in–your-mouth harmonies, warm butterscotch guitars that jangle and shine — made with love and reverence for the music of the golden age of pop — guaranteed to raise a smile!”
—Susanna Hoffs, The Bangles

THE RED BUTTON
The Red Button is a collaboration with LA singer-songwriter, Mike Ruekberg, who shares the same deep love of melodic, pop music of the 60s and 70's as I do.
“The Red Button are the new Power Pop Princes!”
— SHINDIG! Magazine “If The Red Button had been around when I was producing, I would have signed them to EMI.”
— Norman “Hurricane” Smith, The Beatles main recording engineer (1962-1965), Producer, Pink Floyd (1967-1969). “Pure Melodic Pop Heaven”
— Uncut Magazine
