Seth Yacovone Blues Band All The Pain Through The Years

Album: Bobfred s Bathtub Minstrel Bio: The Seth Yacovone Band grew out of Burlington, VT in the summer of 1995. Singer, songwriter and guitarist Yacovone is the only original member of the band; the current lineup also includes bassist Tommy Coggio and drummer Steve Hadeka. The band s first gig was January 2, 1996 at Nectar s in Burlington. At that point, the group played traditional blues. As word started to spread and a fan base began to build, the band played more gigs, including opening for Koko Taylor, Ian Moore, and Monster Mike Welch. In August of 1996, the manager of Phish (another Burlington band) asked the band to play at Phish s Clifford Ball in Plattsburgh, NY the band s first show outside of Vermont. That fall, the band began to grow musically, still playing blues but beginning to experiment with improvisation. At this time gigs in Portland, ME; Albany, NY; and Boston were added.
