Artist History Seaholm’s musical career (or careen, as he refers to it) has taken him from solo artist to leader of the bands “E-Ticket” and “The Wild Truth” (with its self-titled debut album in 1990 and 1994’s Cryptomnesia) and back again with 1997’s Passion’s Little Plaything and Upload in 2003. His music has also been featured on numerous compilations, most notably 1993’s Seaholm-produced Signatures, which was instrumental in establishing San Diego’s burgeoning acoustic scene, bringing attention to fellow songsters including Jewel & Steve Poltz. In addition, he has become a first-call producer for scores of bands and artists including Buddy Blue, Loam, Romy Kaye, The Corrupters, Dead Rock West and Muggles Meshugana, folk and country artists like Darlin’ and Rose, Mary Dolan and Bruce Dale Betz, and art rockers Via Satellite, Low Cloud Cover, Waterline Drift and Goodbye, Blue Monday. When queried about the diverse styles he works in, Seaholm simply replies “It’s all music to me”, without a trace of irony.

Press Reviews "This excellent, self-produced record is sure to captivate you as it draws a fine-line between being inspired by passion and being controlled by it." -- Tracy Page, SLAMM Magazine "An ambitious examination of obsessive love, Passion's Little Plaything is stuffed to the brim with pop-jazz frills and polished to a near-blinding sheen. Seaholm's best tunes are impressive examples of pure pop craft." Karla Peterson, San Diego Union-Tribune
