Late last year marked the release of When the Moment Is True, an incredible album by songwriter Seth Sherman. Over a span of two years, as he performed with other bands in Austin and around Texas, and dealt with things in his personal life, Sherman worked on a number of solo songs, each a powerful reflection of his life experiences.
It’s an exploration a myriad of emotions, and features Sherman playing all the instruments and doing all vocals on each track, with meticulous attention to detail. Such is the strategy of an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable musical perfectionist, and the listener is greatly rewarded with buoyant folk-rock and pop. It’s phenomenal work inspired by a lot of ‘60s and ‘70s musical influences.
Throughout his solo efforts, Sherman formed a band for live performances and collaborative songwriting projects. He’s currently working and performing with songwriter, keyboardist and artist Dieter Ray Langendorf (Halaska), along with drummer Steve Anderson, bassist Drew Schlegel, guitarist Morris Ramos, and vocalist Devon McDermott.
Sherman and his band have a show Thursday night at Lambert’s, 401 W. 2nd St. Rock ‘n’ soul outfit Slowtrain and songwriter Mark Creaney share the bill. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. Recommended.
