Originally from the "wee bonny" village of Wishaw in Scotland, Steve first acquired his thirst for music singing in his local church choir and playing in the school penny whistle band. All that was to change the night Bob Dylan came to town!
While most kids of his age were listening to the bubble gum pop of the early seventies, "wee Stevie's" musical tonic consisted of a mixture of Blues, Folk and Country. His early and later influences were...
Blues
John Lee Hooker
Big Bill Broonzy
Tony Joe White
Sonny Terry &
Brownie McGhee
  
 
Folk
Bob Dylan
Gordon Lightfoot
Donovan
Louden Wainwright III
 
Country
Guy Clark
Townes van Zant
Willie Nelson
George Jones
Lyle Lovett
Sean Colvin
Steve started gigging around local clubs inhis teens while trying to hold down his day job as a Telecommunications Installation Engineer. Befo re too long it was 5-6 nights a week playing in various venues around the Nottingham area, which was Steve's domicile at the time. So armed with his trusted guitar and a powerful thirst, he packed up shop and went on the road. That was 17 years ago, and the music still keeps rolling on ..........
