He spent the first 7 or 8 years with his first real group, the Level Blues Band, with which he proposed, together with the guitarist/singer Giancarlo Schinina, the Chicago sound.
Then it was time for Hot Wheels with which he began to insert the first ideas of a swinging blues and at the same time he collaborated steadily with the Soul group of Arthur Miles and participated in some important specialized Festivals both as a soloist and as a session-man playing with: Luther Allison, Oliver Sain, Walter Liniger, Teddy Riley, Willie Littlefield, Jimmy Witherspoon and others.
He collaborated with the singer Barbara Carr in 1990/91/92/93.

In the midst of recording his 12th album, wavering in his resolve to finish what he’d started, Seth Walker came to a realization. “This work does not define me. This is not who I am forever. This is just a moment.” No album is trapped in amber, no song is set in stone. Distance colors compositions over the years and each album is left as a reflection of its own period in time. This idea played a big part in shaping Why The Worry. Now, the other half of knowing is letting go; letting go of the worry about perception, the worry of over-preparation, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news and noise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson, Walker embraced the songwriter’s sage wisdom, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything… so I decided not to do it.” Truth be told, there aren’t many better oracles to hang an ethos on than brother Willie.
The new album finds Walker reunited with old friends and familiar names. Once again Jano Rix steps behind the boards, co-producing the album with Seth and engineer Brook Sutton.
In the producer’s fifth outing he’s become an invaluable sounding board, the kind who knows what’s missing and, just as importantly, what needs to be taken away.  Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) lends a pen to the title track, and Seth’s classically trained father Scott adds strings to “I’m Getting Ready,” a song penned by Walker’s contemporary Michael Kiwanuka.
Mostly, though, the record was shepherded into shape by Walker’s trio, rounded out by longtime confidants Rhees Williams (Guitar, Piano) and Mark Raudabaugh (Drums). The three let the studio guide them, entering without agenda, set straight by the title’s mantra to stop worrying where they’d end up.
But worry always tries to creep in. It’s inevitable, isn’t it? The album was just about finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker’s region in the mountains around Asheville, and as a result, the record almost didn’t see light.  As catastrophe took shape and literal bridges were broken, the album’s importance wavered in Seth’s mind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage, and there was still service in song. There’s a telling nod in the album closing with Bobby Charles’ seminal ode “I Must Be In a Good Place Now.” Why The Worry is a spiritual reset, watching the sunrise over the mountains. It soaks in like warmth on the skin after a night of shivering in the dark.
Charles isn’t the only notable scribe among the track list, an even mix of Walker’s originals and a carefully curated crop of covers that rifle through the past and present. Setting the course are two gems from JJ Cale, whose sanguine saunter leans well into the album’s themes of amble and ease. Walker opens the album with the smoke ring sway of Bill Withers, turning the lights low for a gently funked rendition of “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh.” The groove grows deeper on Al Green’s “Take Me To The River,” putting a distinctly reclined feel on the soul classic. The breezy feeling extends to the originals as well, injecting a bit of Cale’s country funk into “Up On The Mountain,” soaking spring air and hope into “Supernatural Thing,” and melting nostalgia into meditation on “Midway Girl.”
Why The Worry follows a string of critically acclaimed albums from Walker, garnering praise from NPR to The Washington Post. He’s been found on the road with The Mavericks, The Wood Brothers, Raul Malo, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster among others. He recently penned “Moon and Stars” – the title track to The Mavericks new album, sung as a duet with Sierra Ferrell. Walker’s latest album Why The Worry is out on April 4, 2025 on Royal Potato Family.

Lonely Nights - Written by Jake. Memphis sound with exceptional trumpet and sax. Truly a lonely feel, especially in Jake's voice - from the heart. A New Way To Sing The Blues- another original from Jake. Memphis style again. Exceptional trumpet and saxophone again, but a very different feel this time - a joyous feel, a joyous blues - a new way indeed! Every Day I have The Blues- written by Memphis Slim, covered by so many.... but this "cover" is distinctive in its treatment, especially the inflection in the vocal, a distinctive guitar solo by Jake and the drums drive harder than any other version I've heard before To Know You Is To Love You- fine guitar by Jake again.... super piano - tasty horns Woke Up This Morning (My Baby Was Gone) - SOLID horns, Memphis sound again, but maybe a touch of Delta in Jake's voice this time. A plaintive "don't you want a man like me" echoed in a fine piano ending. (I Got My) Mojo Working - how about some Chicago now? That's Mojo Buford playing harp on the song that gave him his name. Buford has changed it a little since he played it behind the Muddy one. (Hey Baby) You Don't Have to Go - Chicago again. Jake proves that he has done his homework and Buford proves again he can still blow Chicago harp Hoochie Coochie Man - In case you thought Jake and Mojo could only do it twice Sweet Home Chicago - you've heard this one featuring the harp enough, so this version features sax, piano, and Jake on guitar, Fun! Long Distance Call - Did you think that Jake and Mojo would shrink from doing Muddy's best known tune? Buford has again changed his harp line enough to keep it fresh. Love the piano! Dust My Broom- from Robert Johnson to Elmore James to Jake Buford.... as strong as ever (If You) Talk In Your Sleep - hesitation rhythm, haunting, compelling.... a sparse sound give this drummer a raise! My favorite cut! [ Review © Lester Galt (Upper Mississippi Blues Society) www.geocities.com/bloonmpls/home.html]
California veteran bluesman, Jake Jewell, who now hails from Minneapolis , Mn, combines a unique blend of jump, boogie, and down-home country blues that captures the pure essence of the true originators of the blues. Jewell honed and carved his blues guitar sound and Delta edged vocals by refusing to compromise his music, playing for 10 bucks a night in the handful of Twin Cities blues clubs which existed in the sixties and seventies. Demoralized by the local music scene, Jewell decided to relocate to San Francisco, which seemed to be a better option than playing in clubs where there seemed to be no future. The relocated bluesman earned his way through college by working in the studio, and gigging with various R&B groups like Joe Tex, Sly Stone, the Imperials, B.B.King, James Brown and Muddy Waters. Jewell then decided to move on to L.A where he attended UC-Northridge. There he met and studied under such greats as Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Kenny Burrell and Phil Upchurch. These great jazz players were a major influence on Jewell, adding to his blues bag. Having served his apprenticeship on stage and in the studio as a sideman, Jake has finally chosen to step into the spotlight, self-producing his own blues CD. He returned to the Minneapolis area, where the blues has enjoyed a great resurgence of popularity in recent years, and assembled some of the best blues musicians for a memorable session. The results speak for themselves. Listen up, folks! From CD notes/

While calling Virginia Beach, Virginia home, his musical ideas and style were shaped and honed from his West Coast upbringing in Southern California. Whether he is slinging his favorite electric guitar fronting his own band or sliding a bottleneck across the fret board of his trusty old metal body National resonator as a solo artist, Cole has developed a definitive, cross-cut style of his own. Born and raised on the west coast, Coles contemporary blues stylings are an amalgamation of his eclectic musical influences from his early years. R&B, Motown, country, rock and swing have become important components in his songs and arrangement style. With four self produced CDs to his credit, Cole continues to draw the listener into his world of thoughts, images and possibilities! Coles lyrical focus becomes the common denominator for all his audiences. There is a authentic connection Cole makes at each show about life experiences.
Todays listeners enjoy Coles show because of his ingenious down home approach of weaving provocative thoughts and possibilities into everyday life. Stripping his songs of shallow commercial tinsel, Cole delivers his music straight up with passion and intense emotion.

Dr. Jules’ Cool Blues is a trio consisting of Dr. Jules Gliesche (guitar, vocals, original decompositions), Little David Thornton (harp) and featuring Marie Williams (piano, vocals). Along with providing original interpretations of established blues standards and striving to keep that sound alive, the trio also incorporates elements of jazz & big band swing. This gives them an original sound that remains firmly rooted in the rhythms and traditions of the blues, and keeps feet tapping. If you listen to the lyrics, you’ll discover that they’re often downright amusing. Their motto remains “We’ll play the Blues for you.”
"Unlike a lot of acts that throw the word "Blues" into their description, we are a blues band. Whether it's covering the classics in our own way or playing Dr Jules' original decompositions, you'll hear that distinctive blues swing, and you'll dance (or at least tap your feet) to that classic blues shuffle".
