Reared in an evangelical home, Fine Pioneer lost faith and found solace in music, turning to atheism and the almighty frequency spectrum. Fine Pioneer is a storyteller, using symbolism and imagery in lyrically dense folk tunes. Born from the pandemic like many others, Fine Pioneer has one goal. “If I make one person feel a little less alone, I have done my job.”

Dee Dee Seahorn grew up in the mountains of Montana, eventually crash landing in the Poetry Department of the University of Montana. Poems led to writing and singing. After a few years of opening for bands like Magnolia Electric Co and Bill Callahan with his singer songwriter outsider folk project, Dee Dee was offered a touring gig acting and performing original songs for the punk theater company, The Missoula Oblongata. Years on stage passed with time off spent squatting in London and New Orleans, always pen and journal in hand, keeping track of life with dirty little poems and sad songs. Then tramping life gave way to hermiting away on the coast of Maine, a life of quieter times and lots of fulfilling “life’s work”. Calling Belfast home for now, Dee Dee is coming back out of the hermit’s shell, with new poems, lots of new music.
