Stan "Seneko" Olshefski devotes himself to music. For the past six years, this Connecticut creator has meticulously invested his time into the art of songwriting. His sound ranges from jangley Americana to classic Power Pop and everything in between. He's been described as "Think country meets Radiohead" by Wail Music Magazine and featured in the Huffington Post, who wrote "Seneko brings to mind the whimsey of the Gin Blossoms". In September 2016, he debuted his self-titled EP, Seneko. Bolstered by his Indie-Pop passion, the five-song collective centered around love.
Although his own music has evolved, Seneko stays connected with his core inspirations such as the Jayhawks, who he's seen live over 20 times. "The first time I heard the Jayhawks "Blue" I was floored and dug into their past. Then later on the power ballad "Trouble" off " Sound of Lies" - one of my favorite songs. Period. It's the melody, the hook, the truth that shines through their vaguely abstract lyrics. Their whole body of work - even my least favorite - is relevant and resonates. Also the fact that they never got super famous. I certainly get that, yet they drive on with their art to this day though they're in their 50s."
"Wilco, Teenage Fanclub, Matthew Sweet, Lou Reed, Dylan, Petty, Neil Young - all big influences."
