His songwriting career has evolved from a past in film composition as well as writing and performing music for theatrical productions and acting.

Seymour incorporates "intense and passionate" vocals delivered with wry humour and this year he joins band The Undertow for his seventh album The Seventh Heaven Club to perform at the Oaks Hotel in Albion Park on Friday, July 31.

The album is a selection of 12 cover songs collected by Seymour and performed live over the last 14 years as a solo artist or with The Undertow.

Each song selected these for their honesty, eloquence and lyrical focus.

Seymour said each of the tunes were "pins on a map for me".

"They have served a purpose at one time or another, a way forward in the singing of them to a place where I could locate my own feeling in new material," he said.

"They are about yearning, loss, loyalty and joy, the debris of love strewn through to reveal a simplicity and truth that I've come to recognise as greatness."

The album also features special guest appearances from Lucinda Williams, Abby Dobson and introduces his youngest daughter Hannah Seymour.

Join Mark Seymour and The Undertow on Friday, July 31 at 7.30pm at the Oaks Hotel, Princes Highway Albion Park Rail. Tickets are $7 on pre-sale.
