Bio
Jason Steel sings songs & plays the Guitar, Banjo & Ukulele with thumb & forefinger only. He was raised by his Father in South Yorkshire, but now rests his head in North London. He is fond of Tarot & stove pot coffee, old records, honey and the Chinese legend of the Red Thread. He is said to aspire to the Huddie Leadbetter pre-show thought discipline. If you are interested in booking Jason for a show please contact him directly through this page. The 8 song mini-album 'Baby, Wolves Abound' is a numbered edition of a thousand copies released on January 11th by Rif Mountain Records. 'Produces a timeless atmosphere that remains free from pastiche or reproduction. He date-mixes traditional themes, the 1920s and right now in a most disconcerting way; A stripped down & very alluring album.' fRoots 'A deft, emotive performer.' Boomkat 'A timely reminder of the raw beauty and rich harmonics that can be carved by one finger, one thumb and one voice.' Musique Machine The debut Long Player 'Fire Begot Ash' saw the light of day on March 1st 2010. 'With the cautious, unhurried pace of a Fahey disciple, on a brace of rags his picking trickles easily like an Appalachian mountain stream. Meanwhile, across an array of original songs - and an absolutely stunning 'False Bride' - his soft voice lulls seductively. It's a gracious, stately debut' ***** R2 magazine 'The original songs are preoccupied with the old, strange worlds of death, retribution and guilt (like the best trad, of course), blending eldritch lyrics with the more upbeat rhythms of country blues and ragtime. Everything is understated, which makes its effect all the more lasting. A quiet but extremely memorable album that repays a lot of listening.' fRoots 'Expertly delivered Takoma loveliness.' Boomkat Conscientious independent record shops should stock these releases; HMV, Amazon & Itunes if needs must. The first E.P 'Eternal Embers' & the 4 song lathe-cut 7" 'We Deserve Fire' were released on Midwich Records, and have sold out. 'These crestfallen gemstones are carved with a yearning, wounded glow... Measured, mournful and if truth be told quite magnificent.' Losing Today. Hey! Why not order direct from the label; good things often accompany the package. Jason also writes, records & plays out with The Owl Service and as a duo with Nancy Wallace.
