A LOVE FOR SOUND-CRAFTING Ian Riley (left) and Will Bradford (right) perform their original music for a small crowd at the Dogfish Bar and Grille as part of their monthly series, the Songwriter’s Circus.

Last Thursday, when I met up with Will Bradford, the 37 year-old frontman of alt-rock group SeepeopleS, he was lugging his guitar and amp from the cold, wind-swept parking lot, into a crowded Dogfish Bar and Grille. In about 30 minutes, he’d be setting up his equipment with his bandmates Ian Riley and Doug Porter in a small corner of the room, and getting ready to perform some original music: a creative activity he’s been doing in one way or another for 20 years now.
