Seth Bernard

Title Track Founder & Artistic Director

“The argument for the most influential human in the Michigan music uprising of the past decade may begin and end with one Seth Bernard.”
-Jack Clark, Red House Concerts

Born and raised on Earthwork Farm in rural Northern Michigan, Seth Bernard was brought up in the folk and farmstead culture with an enriching integrative experience of the arts, agriculture, and community. In 2001, Seth founded Earthwork Music, a renowned Michigan-based collective of successful independent musicians who focus their efforts on environmental advocacy, social justice, creative empowerment and community building.

Seth has traveled the world and blanketed the US as a magnetic performer and uplifting cultural worker and is equally at home fronting a large electrified ensemble as he is holding a crowd with nothing but an acoustic guitar. Seth has served as the Director of the Musical Ambassador Program for On the Ground where he helped cultivate partnerships and cultural exchanges between communities in southern Mexico, Ethiopia and eastern Congo and communities in Michigan with a focus on solidarity and creative collaboration. “Eggs” Bernard is a NMEAC Environmentalist of the Year Award winner for Arts Education and has worked with SEEDS and On Stage for Kids bringing nature-based experiential creative empowerment to young people across the Great Lakes region and beyond.

In early 2018, Bernard launched the Clean Water Campaign for Michigan, a social movement using storytelling and music to amplify the groundswell of support for water issues.

Seth is a prolific songwriter and recording artist with 13 solo albums and a dozen more collaborative projects in his catalogue. He’s won 8 Jammie awards as a recording artist and producer, and has been a longtime iconic leader and steward of Michigan’s music community. His newest work, Let Love Light The Way, “is a stirring clarion call, and in this moment of collective tumult, these songs are precisely the music and words our world needs. Each track brims with both heartbreak and hopefulness, extending empathy and loving kindness, yet bold with clear-eyed purpose. As Bob Dylan says, the times they are a-changin’—and in these changing times, Seth Bernard has provided us with a set of glorious new anthems.” —Davy Rothbart, writer, filmmaker, creator of FOUND Magazine, and contributor to This American Life

“I know that the future of music is in good hands with people like Seth around to be its caretaker. More importantly, I know the future of our world is in good hands.”
-Greg Brown, Folk Legend

“This music not only swings, rocks, and grooves–it matters. It’s the voice of a real community, with a sound and a message the world needs to hear.”
-Bill McKibben, Author, environmentalist, journalist

Bree Russell-Carscadden

Title Track Bookkeeper

Nestled in the heart of Michigan, Bree Russell-Carscadden has crafted a life woven with compassion, stewardship, and unwavering dedication to her family and community. As a Michigan native and lifelong resident, Bree draws daily inspiration from her surroundings—the forests, lakes, and small towns that have both shaped her worldview and provided a nurturing home for her family. She shares this home with her husband, Don, and their son, Russell, forming a tight-knit trio that finds joy and reflection in life’s simple pleasures.

Bree’s commitment to social justice and environmental stewardship is the product of both nature and nurture. Growing up, she spent countless summers alongside her father, Bob Russell—a passionate activist, advocate for the environment, peacemaker, and co-founder of the Northern Regional Environmental Coalition (NREC). Bob’s work for social change left an indelible mark on Bree’s character, instilling in her a deep sense of responsibility to fight for equity, protect the planet, and amplify the voices of those often unheard.

While Bree’s current full-time role is raising her son, she remains active in the professional world through a variety of side jobs and ongoing commitments. Her work with Title Track, a nonprofit organization dedicated to clean water, racial equity, and youth empowerment, reflects her dedication to both environmental and social causes. Beyond her accounting responsibilities, she serves as Board Treasurer, lending expertise in governance, fiscal management, and organizational strategy.

For the past decade, Bree has also contributed to One Source Media Tracking, where her meticulous approach to data tracking and editing has been vital. Her experience in this field has honed her analytical and communication skills while affording her the flexibility to balance career and family.

Her professional history is a testament to her adaptability and strong work ethic. Bree has served as a Human Resources Manager, led a customer service team, and worked as an Account Representative at TBA Credit Union. These roles, spanning diverse industries, have equipped her with a broad skill set—leadership, team building, conflict resolution, and project management—that she brings to every endeavor, whether paid or volunteer.
