About

Edit biography

A soulful and emotional performer on Stage. Steve provides a deep connection with his audience playing the guitar in a way that inspired BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris to write “A top talent with extraordinary guitar skills”. Chris Difford (Squeeze) commented “A wonderful voice..” Nik Kershaw who describes Steve as “Hertfordshire’s very own Jack Johnson”. Steve was once invited to perform a special acoustic version of Sweet Dreams with Eurythmics founder Dave Stewart.

Starting out on the Isle of Wight, Steve soon found himself in London signing a record deal with Warner/ZTT and living the 90’s dream of Rock, Tours and Backstage Parties. His career then sidestepped into session playing for artists like Lionel Richie, Peter Andre, Gareth Gates and Delta Goodrem which saw performances on TOPT, CD:UK, Parkinson, Graham Norton. In 2007 he landed the job as full time touring guitarist with Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes. This continued until 2012which saw Steve co-wrote the opening track and play guitar on Darren’s album ‘Secret Codes & Battleships’

To date Steve has released three albums and a handful of singles & EP’s. His songs are on rotation at Caffè Nero & have received radio play around the globe inc live performances on Radio 2. He performs around 200 gigs per year as an entertainer for corporate & private events as well as residencies at local pubs, bars & restaurants. His Nashville Nights project is a high energy Country Rock show performing regularly at London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields to sold out crowds. With his own band he plays local festivals all around Hertfordshire. In 2023 he returned to play the famous Isle of Wight Festival, performing at the Black Deer Festival on the journey down.

When not on stage you will find Steve in various schools teaching Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Performance & Songwriting to a wide range of Mainstream and SEND pupils in Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire
