Seth Gallant & Helen Hummel (two solo acts)

Seth Gallant is an Americana singer-songwriter based in Maine. USM Free press noted “his songwriting bares the unmistakable mark of hours spent with the classic American songwriters like Hank Williams or Steve Earle.”
Gallant is currently writing a body of work around industrial towns of New England and his first released single “Summer of the Strike” was noted by Ear To The Ground Music as “a ballad for a generations and deserves to be widely heard”. It was also featured in March 2024 by Gems on VHS. His song “Company Town” was nominated as a Maine Songwriters Association song of the year 2023. Gallant has toured nationally both in bands and as a solo act, playing venues such as Club Passim in Boston, Higher Ground in Vermont, and the Skinny Dennis in NYC. Gallant has worked and collaborated with producer Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive), musician/producer Benny Yurco (Grace Potter and the Nocturnals), Vermont musician Bow Thayer, as well as author Kerri Arsenault (Mill Town – NYTimes Editors Choice). As noted again by USM Free Press, “Gallant has paid respects to luminaries that preceded him, and builds from in his own vision, leaving him with the makings of a classic songwriter.”

Singer/songwriter Helen Hummel hails from the green mountains of Vermont. Her music reflects the rural landscape of her upbringing and explores the styles of Folk, Americana, and Indie, among many others. Through classic and original songs, she fills out the limits of her vocal range, accompanying herself on bright and playful guitar. She currently lives in Western Massachusetts and regularly tours through her home state of Vermont and greater New England.
