official bio for
Anna Seda and Jacob Deck
Anna Seda (Cello) and Jacob Deck (Celtic harp/Whistles/Vocals) are a duo known for their dynamic blend of friendship, humor, and musical artistry, seamlessly weaving contemporary narratives into traditional folk roots. Their musical journey began in Boston, where they covered a lighthearted parody song Charlie on the MBTA that captured the city’s public transit struggles under Charlie Baker, resonating with listeners through local and national news. A flash mob performance on the Orange Line and a recording session at The Record Co. in 2022 propelled their collaboration into Boston’s folk music scene.
Together, Anna and Jacob have performed at respected venues like Club Passim and opened for Celtic music icons Shannon and Matt Heaton at Lexington’s Harmony on the Green. Their shared love for traditional music and community shines through in performances at the New England Folk Festival and intimate Groupmuse house concerts, where they create warm, engaging experiences for listeners. With roots at Boston States Fiddle Camp and countless jam sessions around the city, Anna and Jacob continue to refine their sound, blending heartfelt tunes with moments of humor and connection.

Anna Seda’s bio
Cellist Anna Seda has dedicated her artistry to the mastery of not only the classical canon but explores contemporary, folk, and popular music. Anna began her cello studies in Denver, Colorado at age four catching the “bug” when she first learned a fiddle tune by ear.
Holding degrees from the University of Colorado, University of Denver, and the Boston Conservatory, some of her most influential mentors include members of the Boston Symphony, Tacaks String Quartet, and Grammy winning multi-style cellist Mike Block, of which she works as his executive assistant.
Internationally, Seda has appeared at the Adriatic Chamber Music Festival in Italy, the Singapore Symphony, Great Wall Soloists in Beijing featured on NPR, and took a sabbatical in Cusco, Peru to teach cello.
Prior to the pandemic her New England based life was dizzyingly full of appearances with orchestras, opera pits, concert series, and studio musician recordings but in the quietude of the “Long Pause”, Seda has stepped into the realm of content creation, bringing more than 60,000 people worldwide entertainment, education, and music on the daily.
Jacob Deck’s bio
Jacob Deck has spent years immersed in the rich traditional music scene in Boston and beyond. With harp, flute, and voice, he carries an eclectic mix of songs and tunes forward into the future.
