MEET THE ARTIST

Seth Kreiswirth

Drummer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with major-label original-band roots, now heard in The K-Tel All-Stars, The Long Run and Classic Vinyl Live.

Seth Kreiswirth came through original music before becoming a specialist in classic catalogs. That matters: he approaches the drum chair as part of the song, and the vocal stack as part of the rhythm.

WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW THEM

Three chapters behind the drum kit.

THE ORIGINAL BAND

The story did not start with tribute music.

Seth’s original band The Chance reached a major-label deal, giving him first-hand experience with original songs, arrangements and the Los Angeles club ecosystem.

THE 70s MACHINE

He is part drummer, part harmony section.

In The K-Tel All-Stars, Seth handles drums and vocals — exactly the combination needed for repertoire where groove and stacked chorus carry equal weight.

THE SECOND INSTRUMENT

The voice has always been there.

A 1991 Music Connection review listed Seth on vocals and keyboards in The Chance, a reminder that his musicianship has never fit inside one chair.

THE STORY

The timekeeper who came from songs.

There is a difference between a drummer who learns classic records and a musician who grew up inside bands, arrangements and original material. Seth Kreiswirth belongs to the second category. The Chance put him in the Los Angeles scene early. Years later, The K-Tel All-Stars asks for a different kind of precision — reproduce records people know by heart, sing the harmonies, and keep the whole thing alive. Classic Vinyl Live takes that discipline one step further: an album-length performance where there is nowhere for the groove to hide.

CAREER & COLLABORATIONS

Original-band instincts inside classic records.

Seth’s credits connect The Chance, The K-Tel All-Stars and The Long Run, plus shared-stage history with members of April Wine, Survivor and Brother Cane.

THE CHANCE

Major-label original-band roots.

The original music chapter remains an important part of how Seth hears arrangements today.

K-TEL ALL-STARS

Drums and vocals, both exposed.

The 70s repertoire asks for pocket, dynamics and polished harmony without tracks doing the work.

THE LONG RUN

Another harmony-first catalog.

The Long Run lists Seth among its additional drummers, placing him inside the Eagles songbook as well.
