I write songs, play guitar and sing, but I really love jamming with others, and creating new sounds. Some of the people I collaborate with are: Alastair Pollock, Andrew Smale, Ben Tan, Andrea Evans, Jack Keys, Eddie Dalrymple, Jeff Hanson, Tristan Taylor, Lisa Milton and more. Talk to me if you want to be part of the music!
Influences
Lately, a lot of classic folk and rock sounds; warm music.
I'm Steve, and I've been playing and creating music for years now. I started out with the drums, taking lessons for about 7 years before stopping to explore other aspects of music. Over the last couple of years, I have tried my hand at guitar, and writing songs. This has definitely become a passion of mine, and being able to share it with friends, and anyone else who happens upon it is important to me. Recently I have felt a stronger pull to get my music out there, and have just completed my first demo album. I'll be looking to play more shows around the city in the near future, so keep an eye out for future performances. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
Thanks Steve! I don't really know how to play the banjo properly, I just kind of made up my own way of playing it, haha, so I'm totally not legit at all, but I'm glad you like it none the less! I'm diggin' your tunes, we'll have to try to attend one another's upcoming shows. :) -ks

Steve, man i love the song. I listened to it like 3 times in a row haha. Everything fits you know, like i really like the lyrics and its a very catchy tune. Oh and the background guitar is awesome, it adds alot. I love the part when you start singing oh oh oh... and your voice kind of follows the guitar, its great man. And did you record this at home or something cause you said you did it just the other day, just wondering cause the quality is really good. Anyways thanks for putting the new tune up, i enjoyed hearing it. Talk to you soon man,
