My Resume
Entertainment Profile
Home Port: San Diego, CA History: Born in Germany. Arrived in San Diego at 2 years old where I have lived on or by the beach for the past 50 years. My entertainment history is extensive on the local scene and parts of the country and some exotic places around the globe. I'm
the first guy on the west coast that made the commitment to covering
Jimmy Buffett's music and I'm the west coast's longest running Jimmy
Buffett tribute entertainer, something I feel good about for sure.
I've
performed as a solo, duo, trio, and with local bands (some of them
renowned) such as the Classics, and the Bel Airs and the ever so
popular Buffed Out Band. I'm a singer, songwriter, and have recorded two original CDs and 2-live CDs. I've
worked in recording studios many times over the past 25 years with
artists: Tim Flannery, Brad Strackbein, Buffed Out, Glen Ewrath, the
San Diego Padres, Taylor Harvey and a few others. I
have been the master of ceremonies for hundreds of charity events,
corporate functions and private events with many TV and radio shows
including the live interview on Radio Bora Bora in 2005 in Bora Bora,
Tahiti. Focus: To
provide excellent family quality entertainment featuring my original
music, the music of the baby boomer generation, selected oldies and
country greats and the music of tropical vacation lovers all with a
positive attitude to share with each and every audience along the way. My
passion to make people feel good is what is at the base of all of this.
That allows me to tailor my shows to each specific audience. Special Performances: Concert opening act for Jimmy Buffett, San Diego CA Concert opening act for Willie Nelson, Riverside CA Concert opening act for Jan & Dean, San Diego CA Concert opening act for Judy Collins, Oceanside CA Performed with Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefers, Irvine CA Concert at the Bali Hai Hotel, Moorea Tahiti House concerts in Florida, Washington, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Hawaii, and all over California Concert at Bloody Mary's in Bora Bora

The comparisons to Jimmy Buffett are impossible to avoid, but Seiler has something the 'pirate' really can't relate to. Seiler has come out of a white collar working man's world, complete with all the politics and social experience it brings, to arrive at a place of appreciation that bleeds from his songs. The songs are ripe and full of solid melody and production - but it's the words that really touch. He writes not so much tongue-in-cheek as he does heart-in-mouth. We appreciate that. His CD, "He's Finally Living", opens with the title track. The tune chronicles a man who's basically escaped from the rat race to finally live - although, 'the money's wearin' thin'. Seiler is an admitted avid surfer - and he's got a hip upbeat surf tune that is a well-done anthem for boardin' buds. Cozumel is the long mp3 tune here - the song opens with a subtle acoustic guitar and steel guitar as Seiler relates the story of 30 people traveling to Mexico with guitar in hand. In track 5, "It's All About Me", is about heartbreak and regret. Sumptuous pedal steel is in the clip here. Our favorite track is the 9th, "Laid Back and Tan", Seiler lays it on the line as he sings dedicated love to his son and his parents who are still around. The instrumentation on the tune is beautiful - a heavily reverbed acoustic guitar provides the bed for Seiler's baritone, and the tasty accordion pierces the heart. Cool CD - Island Country Rock Pop.
Gary Seiler's 2002 CD, "Living on Dreams", is a 13 tune collection that flows as easily as fine tequila. Less ambitious than his latest, these tunes are straight ahead good-time Buffett-ish tunes that combine humor and heartache. Track 2 is laugh-out-loud funny as "Run Tourist Run" has the entire Atlantic region fleeing a hurricane. Track, 5, "Captain of My Ship", is an anthem for sailors everywhere. The long mp3, "Mexico", tells the tale of May trips south with fruit and a margarita life. Track 11, "Can't Let Her Go", is a forlorn tune about how 'love touches you and then goes, it's so hard on your soul when you can't let 'em (her) go'. The craft is absolutely solid - well done singer/songwriter tunes that have a home in any warm beach-front bar.
