Album Notes

I don’t even like coffee. The smell, anything with a frap, or mocha grande I really can’t stand. But yet I play mostly in coffee houses, that's irony.

Welcome to my bio, my name’s Steve. In the summer of '06 I finished recording, after months and months of studio work, a jazzy pop acoustic album which I named California Sky. I’ve been playing out, doing shows, since the beginning of ’03. Slowly getting better every time until at last I can say that I’d listen to myself if that weren’t weird.

My sound is best defined as intelligent folk-jazz, but lately I’ve been getting more and more into rock and I’ve been experimenting with effects and looping, building counter-melodies on top of each other. So I guess you could say that’s also my style.

A couple of bands that have influenced my playing, singing and songwriting are: Jars of Clay, Paul Simon, Toad the Wet Sprocket, U2, John Mayer, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bob Dylan, Tifton Mile and the Adam Project.

I've since recorded a more electric driven "rock album" which I've entitled Bride. Both are amazing records, well worth your time.However, if you’re still feeling uneasy about purchasing either of my records because you’ve “never heard of me”… just send me an e-mail and/or myspace message and I’ll give you my new record for free. –Steve
