Bordeaux released his first album under Wild Records in 2022. Several DIY singles. A live album in the beginning of 2026 featuring The Centuries out of Los Angeles.
Sebastien is currently about to release his 2nd studio album with Swelltune Records this fall of 2026!
With his punk rock upbringing and unsurpassed love and passion for traditional roots music, Sebastien brings an edge and authenticity many are lacking in the modern age.
Sebastien has and continues to tour across North America, Japan, Mexico, Europe and South America playing pubs, city events, theatres and festivals.
Sebastien’s music and bands consist of a-list musicians from Nashville and around the world. His music can be described as appropriate for a large group of avid dancers, or beer drinking foot stompers. He intertwines elements of broody dark misfortune like in “Dig a Bone,” to uplifting words of romance and world travel as in the words of “Machu Picchu.”
A true authentic emerging roots music. One whom you will love in your playlists regardless of the type of music you’re passionate for. Sebastien Bordeaux is a timeless addition to the world of music.
His musical education came directly from the source. As a young player, he spent time with legendary Carolina musicians Guitar Gabriel and Cootie Stark, learning not only guitar technique but also the storytelling and spirit behind traditional American music.
In the 1990s, Reid immersed himself in the life of a working musician, busking on the streets of New Orleans before returning to North Carolina’s music scene. He later helped form the roots band The Blue Rags, known for energetic performances and traditional sounds.
Reid gained international recognition when he won the International Blues Challenge in Memphis—becoming the first solo performer to win the competition.
Today, Abe Reid continues to perform, teach, and share the music of the American South, passing on knowledge learned from older musicians and decades on the road.
