Steve Hung is the latest addition to the Washington D.C. music scene with his recent transition from Austin, TX, dubbed "The Live Music Capital of the World," to Washington D.C., the nation's capital. A native Texan, Steve grew up in Houston, TX picking up the guitar at age 15. By age 18, Steve moved to Austin, TX, where he fine-tuned his compositional skills and guitar licks while playing open mic at The Cactus Cafe, a nationally acclaimed acoustic venue. Steve quickly gained a reputation as "a killer guitar player" and "a Cactus favorite."
Like other Texas musicians such as Los Lonely Boys and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve loves to fuse blues riffs and licks into his guitar playing. However, Steve has a broad musical vocabulary including a diverse spectrum of styles. Steve's unique approach to acoustic guitar utilizes classical/folk fingerstyle techniques, while being heavily rooted in the blues, and sprinkled with some rock and jazz inflections. The result is a repertoire of compositions ranging from soulful and soothing to gritty, groovy, and rocking.
Steve’s debut album, Geetar (late July 2008) showcases the Texas musical influences he grew up with. These 12 instrumental tracks feature everything from gritty groovy blues, wailing harmonica shuffles, ornamented folk finger-playing, to screeching slide guitars. The guitarwork is skillfully crafted and layered enough to please technical guitar enthusiasts, while at the same time maintaining a universal accessible sound which can be appreciated by anyone.
