Seth Petterson...

My buddy, Tim Bramlette, punk rock photographer, recently took another step through the music industry door. After gaining experience on the road with the Street Dogs for a couple of tours, Tim has decided to take a stab at band management.

Actually, it's more like musician management. Under the name, Rose Park Management, Tim will help bring the likes of, Seth Petterson, to the good people of the world. It's no wonder why either, after spending an evening with him recently, I found myself growing fond of his personable demeanor and soulful music.

I met up with Seth, also the front man of the band Franklin for Short, at club Velvet Jones here in SB. I took a few snaps of the sound check for his solo performance (plus drummer, Trevor). From there we moved on to a nearby alley way and then a corner liquor store for a quick promo/"thank you" shoot. Seth recently picked up sponsorship from the Innes clothing company and Tim wanted to send thank you shots to them. From there it was back to the Velvet where Seth and I tossed back a couple of cold ones and got to know each other a little better, he's a truly genuine guy. His set was nothing short of amazing to me, and I highly recommend anyone reading this (all 3 of you) to check him out...
