"The imaginative, sparse approach of Wilco & the vocal attitude & character of Petty but holding a place of it's own that hasn't been filled by anyone. Allowed me to leave the planet for a few moments w/o ever leaving the desk. Brilliant!" Taxi Write something about Seth Davis.
A nice vegan chef from the projects in Queens who majored underachievement and marijuana, Davis writes songs that don't rock...they rain...

...the singer-songwriter-guitarrist always delivers on the emotion...The lucky 13 songs on “Without Annette” bring together touches of Americana with a taste of U.K. mope rock (“Ruby Aiyo” recalls Karl Wallinger’s World Party).
The guy cooks!

“Seth Davis is a passionate creative force and a
passionate performer...his music screams passion even in the quietest of interludes...” John Blenn Long Island Entertainment 10/2000
“A flow of powerful songs with the
punctuation and space that marks a gifted craftsman...lyrics poetic and pointed...a journey through the mind of a songwriter prizoner to his art but free to let love rule.”
Mr. Space
“Seth Davis establishes himself as a poet of notable talent..” Creations1/06
“Earthy and rasping while remaining personable and somehow sweet, Seth’s vocals bring a
storytelling, troubadour quality, while his writing suggests the poetic, personalized depths of an urban Lucinda Williams... Rarely does a musician arrive on the scene with the songwriting
craftsmanship displayed by Seth Davis.”
David E. Feldman Aural Fix 10/2001
"Seth, You have more than won me over...the imaginative, sparse approach of "Wilco" & the vocal attitude & character of "Tom Petty" but holding a place of it's own that hasn't been filled by anyone...allowed me to leave the planet for a few moments w/o ever leaving the desk...brilliantly fresh music!! Thanks for giving me the chance to hear this - I hope the rest of the world gets the same chance!"
