Tim Seeley walked into Deer Isle Music Hall & BBQ and came out with a song called “Something Good,” which he recently shared with The Rising Tide.

Seeley, who many may remember as the former head of George Stevens Academy, is now devoting his life to music. He often plays around the Blue Hill Peninsula, Deer Isle, Ellsworth, Bucksport, Searsport, Bar Harbor and Bangor. His venues include concerts, festivals, restaurants and bars.

He also plays at locations around the country. The video above was for a live episode of the Appalachian Vibes Radio Show out of Roanoke, Virginia.

“My style is Americana (you know, a mix of indie folk, country, blues, jazz, soft rock, a hint of classical). It is just me and my guitar,” he says.
