Biography
"It's been said that John Lennon distilled his entire catalog down to one word: 'love.' Len Seligman walks gracefully in the master's footsteps." - The Kennedys (Maura & Pete), award-winning recording artists

LEN SELIGMAN (pronounced "SELL-ig-min") is a Sarasota, Florida-based singer-songwriter and string instrument virtuoso. Inspired by poets Rumi and Mary Oliver, songwriting greats John Lennon and Randy Newman, and the world music fusion of Ry Cooder, “Seligman's music radiates joy. When you listen to him, you’ll find your spirit lifted to a higher, truer realm, and you may just find yourself dancing!” (Independent Artist Buzz blog).

OUR TURN NOW is Seligman’s third album. It features 10 original songs, including a co-write with Tom Kimmel, and one traditional song of peace and justice. Seligman says, “My goal in creating this album is to inspire joy and a feeling of interconnection with all life. Themes include gratitude, loss, playfulness, mindfulness, and the ongoing struggle to create a more just and compassionate world.”

The title track, which reached #14 on the Folk Alliance International Folk DJ chart as an advance single for October 2020, pays tribute to civil rights icon John Lewis and all those who get into “good trouble” to advance the cause of equal rights. The album features stellar guest musicians Moksha Sommer and Jemal Wade Hines (of HuDost, winners of the 2020 Indie Music Award for Social Justice), Tom Kimmel, JD Martin, Jan Garrett, and piano virtuoso John Lee Sanders.

Seligman began his music career in folk and rock groups in New England in the 1970s before pursuing a career as a PhD computer researcher geek. In 2018, he returned to his first love and again became a full-time musician.
