In an electric setting-Smashing Pumpkins...In an acoustic setting-Neil Young/Mark Kozelek/Jayhawks
Steve is a 30 year old songwriter-guitarist-singer from Troy NY who has been on the scene since February 2005. His acoustic output consists of a successful combination of various influences: blending confessional, poetic lyrics (straight from the school of Leonard Cohen) with the laidback vibe of early 90s "sadcore" rockers Red House Painters and the vocal delivery of Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum. Throw in obtuse, twisting song structures like those of his main influences the Smashing Pumpkins and you have an acoustic performer who approaches the unplugged setting in a very different way. The most important aspect of Steve's music resides, naturally, in the songs themselves. He transcends his influences and comes up with a voice that is distinctly his own, and that is what makes his music stand out.
And in case anyone was wondering what kind of rocker Steve is...
You Are an Indie Rocker!
You are in it for the love of the music...
And you couldn't care less about being signed by a big label.
You're all about loving and supporting music - not commercial success.
You may not have the fame and glory, but you have complete control of your career.
