Almost Seamus

Buffalo's own "Almost Seamus" visited the Flamingo Lounge on June 9, 2024 for a great podcast session and the recording of 3 music videos by my friends at Nickel City B-Sides!  This traditional Irish & eclectic Celtic band features three people & only two last names.  Award-winning vocalist and instrumentalist Kate Clark, has played fiddle for over 30 years and has brought her talents to numerous Buffalo bands and the local theater stages. She teaches music in West Seneca  Jayson Clark, Kate's husband and Almost Seamus's resident audio engineer, ensures good-sounding recordings and lays down the rock-solid rhythm on bass. Jayson's an award-winning lighting designer and teaches lighting at Niagara University. He shares his love of music festivals with, Kate, and two daughters. Rounding out the band is Scott Panfil, Kate's brother and a multi-instrumentalist who contributes vocals, guitar, accordion, and more. Scott teaches music at Frontier, has a wife and two children and has been a member of multiple Buffalo bands.
