The music of Sea Dramas ranges from hazy folk with pensive melodies to 60’s-inspired, echo-laden pop that melds genres with swirling, dreamlike qualities.

Based in San Francisco, Sea Dramas began as a voyage in audio recording by Scott Pettersen (songwriting, vocals, guitar, banjo, etc). A rotating cast of musicians lent their talents to a substantial collection of demos and through this process a full fledged band has emerged — the potent ensemble of Ted Kamp (drums), Dwayne Anderson (electrical guitar), Marlaina Rae (vocals, keyboard), and John Mulhausen (bass).

Soft Wake, the band’s debut LP, was recorded September 2012 at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco, California with producer Patrick Brown and self-released in February 2013.

Cazadero dabbles in Western pop, mixing Nashville-tinged jubilee with abandoned beach balladry. Dusk for Dawn was under- conceived in a period of nine weeks at the onset of 2012 between rehearsals across from Ocean Beach and a pleasantly dank, carpeted room in North Oakland. Shortly thereafter, it was casually put to tape at Tiny Telephone by eight musicians over the course of four days.
