Formed in 2002 by established singer/songwriter
Brady Seals,
Hot Apple Pie's distinctly diverse rendering of country, pop, and R&B carries with it a pedigree for success.
Seals, a touring musician since the age of 16, shares the blood of numerous industry heavyweights, including
Jimmy Seals of
Seals & Crofts, songwriters
Troy and
Chuck Seals, as well as country star
Dan Seals. From 1991 to 1995 he toured and recorded with the band
Little Texas, scoring a Grammy nomination for the song "Amy's Back in Austin." After a prolific but ultimately disappointing foray into a solo career,
Seals formed
Hot Apple Pie with longtime collaborators, guitarist Sparky Matejka and drummer Trey Landry. Their self-titled debut was released by Dreamworks in the summer of 2005. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
