“somewhere between Springsteen and Steve Earle” - The Welcomat
Eddie Seville is an American songwriter who creates vivid snapshots of real life with raw honesty and tough wisdom. As a solo artist and occasional bandleader, he brings alt-country barroom ballads, prayers & punchlines to listening rooms, theaters, fairs and festivals around the US, Europe and Canada.
Drawing from folk, roots and country blues, he’s written songs released on Island, Atlantic and Universal Records, with music aired on three US television networks and HBO. Notable covers of his songs include versions by the late George Kooymans of the band Golden Earring, who recorded “Blind Love” (Sony Music Publishing) for a European single and “Ticket To Heaven” (Red Bullet) for the 2022 Mirage album. Seville’s offbeat torch ballad, “One More Guitar,” launched an ad campaign, a signature model and an acoustic tour of the Netherlands sponsored by the Homestead Guitar Company.
His work spans many projects with veteran producer Paul Orofino, writing, recording and touring with Frank Carillo (Peter Frampton / Tim Hardin), Augie Meyers (Texas Tornados / Bob Dylan), Danny Miranda (Queen) and Simon Kirke (Bad Company), in addition to producing a handful of independent artists.
