Steven Gullett has been performing music for 15 years now. He's played in a number of glam-punk / rock 'n' roll bands (Freakstrobe, Love Lies Bleeding, The Mystery Addicts, The American Static & Snake Oil) in the Dayton Ohio area over the years & he's also played out solo. No matter how many bands he played in he always returned to the acoustic stage. There's something so raw & bare about one voice & one guitar that just can't be beat.
Years of songwriting fruition & growth were born on his debut solo CD "Cheap Reflections". Recorded over 2 years on 4-track & 8-track machines the result was a sparse but immediate sound. Steven's rough vocals combine beautifully with the thick sound of a jumbo acoustic guitar & occasional electric overdubs.
Now having 4 solo releases and armed with a catalog of over 250 songs Steven blurs the genres that try to define him; from Rock to Ballads to Punk to Alt Country and aggressive Antifolk the constant among the diversity is solid, honest songwriting, melodic hooks, & intelligent wordplay with a poet's phrasing.
