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.

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.
