Seth Key says security can be a really hard thing to leave...

Seth is not unfamiliar with the demands of a music career. He grew up in the small town of Bowden, Ga, and realized early on that he needed to search outside his hometown to find a music scene that he could immerse himself in. That scene was Athens, Ga, where he went to school at The University of Georgia and played guitar in a rock band all over town with his brother Tyler Key and yours truly (and our bass player Tom). After graduating from school, Seth hung around Athens and scheduled gigs around the constraint of a full-time job. Eventually, Seth decided that another leap was necessary to pursue his dreams. This time he left his adopted hometown for Nashville to cut his teeth as a freelance guitarist. He played out as much as possible and took as many gigs as he could get his hands on. It wasn't too long before his hard work paid off and he started getting hired for recording sessions, booked for tours and was playing with some of the best musicians in town. Seth continues to advance in his career and now resides in Austin, TX. 

Seth and I have been bandmates on many occasions and have been great friends for years. I'm excited to have him on the first episode of our podcast.
