It’s no secret that New England native Seth MacFarlne can carry a tune.

The Family Guy and Ted creator isn’t shy about sharing his singing voice and has been known to break out into Broadway-style musical number from time to time. MacFarlane also has a new album out and is set to perform at Tanglewood next year as well.

“My father was a folk singer at a pub in Massachusetts,” MacFarlane said. “My mother saw him perform and then stalked him, basically, found out where he lived.”
