Rock and Vine reveals the lives and innovations of next generation changemakers in California’s wine country.

In the 70s and 80s, winemaking started to become a legitimate profession in California. Winemakers, particularly in Northern California, showed the might of Napa and Sonoma wines, made from its rocky and diverse soils. In the 90s, American wine became more extravagant and winemakers became icons. Now, the children and grandchildren of those early winemakers have matured and are crafting their own convivial brands with less pomp and better circumstances.

Through eleven unforgettable stories, author Chelsea Prince and photographer Mary Steinbacher introduce talented wine industry trailblazers who are primed to perpetuate and evolve the legacy of Napa and Sonoma.

From Manhattan to Santa Fe to Baton Rouge to Teaneck, New Jersey, Seth Freeman had been all over the country before middle school. He started singing and writing songs as a kid, and never stopped. He has written songs in dreams, on walks with dogs, or sitting with the guitar.

After leaving New Jersey, Seth spent a number of years in Boston, where he graduated from Berklee School of Music, and got his main guitar, a unique vintage Gibson SG Special, for only 180 bucks off a guy from the Want Ad Press (this was pre-Craigslist era). It was out of Boston that he was signed to EMI with his band Little John and toured up and down the east coast.

After a couple years in San Francisco with a new Little John lineup, Seth landed in Los Angeles, where he has been pursuing a solo career ever since. Seth has continued to write, record, and perform. He has also scored films, produced other artists, and had songs placed in movies and TV, as well as joining forces with other songwriters to form the bands Still Spark and College Girlfriend.

Seth Freeman is now releasing a series of rocking and at times soul-searching solo EPs that he recorded over the course of the last year. The first of these EPs is  into Your Atmosphere .

You can hear Seth live with the support of former Little John bandmate Stefano Capobianco on guitar and keys, Kelly King of Still Spark on drums, and producer Chris Zerby on bass.
