   About Stephen Lomas
Grunts & Guitars! Funk & Swagger!
I'd been playing guitar forever - I took to it like a bad habit during high school. The song-writing came later on, influenced initially by listening to The Pogues & reading Henry Lawson.
It was fueled by a frustration in finding material that I could play, could sing & that I liked. The initial result was the cd "Mermaids" which I recorded with Tim Horrigan in San Juan Capistrano.
As I had been living in S.California for a heck of a long time I started performing around LA. That was a great way to meet some wonderful friends & performers & consequently the writing blossomed, culminating in the second cd "Sinbad Ranch". Steve Goodie of Punch Sound assisted with this one, with contributions form Tim Horrigan on keys & John McDuffie on pedal steel & slide guitars. After completing the initial takes Steve Goodie moved his studio from Santa Monica to Nashville & I returned to Australia after an absence of 28 years.
These days I'm up in the hills, mid-way between Sydney & Melbourne, sharing a small acreage with my wife Darlene & a dog, Kipling. I miss Vine Street & The Bliss in Hollywood but it's wonderful here... just a little bit further to gigs.

Have a wonderful holiday season. Thanks for being our friend. Attached is a photo of Tiffany Lowe, granddaughter of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash (and daughter of country singer, Carlene Carter, and British rocker, Nick Lowe), taken when she recorded with us on Sunday in Santa Barbara. Have a fun weekend.

Stephen, what started out as a shameless, selfish act of self-promotion (as I attempt to get some RUM airplay) is turning me into a genuine fan. Your music coupled w/ the beautiful HONESTY of your vocal delivery is a great find in this world of slickly-contrived, market-driven pop-drivel.
THANKS for what you do!

Glad I found you again. You're sounding great. Have you been listening to Jeff Lang? He's my new magic fingered Aussie idol, but you've got an American accent.
Hugs to Darlene and I'll e-mail you back soon.
Miss you man,
John Joseph
