More about Steve
I’m a solo electro-acoustic guitarist and vocalist based on the Shropshire / Mid Wales border.
A regular performer at pubs, wine bars, hotels, bistros, and private events across the region, I deliver a dynamic live set built on tasteful live-looping, engaging vocals, and the occasional blast of harmonica—equally at home driving a high-energy evening or providing a warm acoustic backdrop for intimate gatherings.
My performing journey began unexpectedly at age 37, stepping on stage for a friend’s charity event with just a few hours' notice. That morning decision in May 2012 sparked a dedicated career that led straight to festival stages and venue residencies across the region. Now in my 15th year of live performance, I have completed over 700 gigs and built an expansive, ever-growing repertoire of more than 730 songs.
Rather than relying on rigid setlists, I tailor every performance to the room. Hits from indie, rock, pop, folk, and soul sit alongside unexpected acoustic twists on everything from Paolo Nutini, The Jam, Amy Winehouse, and Bruce Springsteen to crowd favourites by Florence + The Machine, Coldplay, and even Dizzee Rascal. Audience requests are always welcome.

The Forget-Me-Not
You might notice a small Forget-Me-Not incorporated into my logo, or a tiny pin badge which I always wear. This delicate flower holds a deeply personal meaning for me. I wear and display it in loving memory of my son, Alex, who was killed by a dangerous driver in September 2024. For me, music is as much about connection, remembrance, and escapism from life’s realities as it is about performance, and keeping Alex’s memory close at hand is a quiet, constant inspiration behind everything I do.
