The singer and the song
Songs with miles in them.
Michael Seward has spent a lifetime making music—first in Bay Area garage bands, then on stages across California, Oregon, Hawaii, Montana and Idaho.
Most of his songs are spiritual, carrying Christian faith and hope through country, rock, folk and blues, with room for humor, family and the landscapes he knows.

What’s going on now
Forming a band.
Michael is going back to finish what he started long ago, forming the No Brand Band and bringing these songs into a new chapter.
Across the years, his writing has reflected the chaos he has witnessed in the world while seeking to bring people hope. The conviction at the center is direct: Christ is the only answer.
Work is also underway to finish the full instrumental version of Get Ready—the counterpart to the acoustic version that has already been released—along with several more songs that no one has heard.
