For those with musical curiosity, I have been on the guitar since the age of 15 (it was a good way to meet chicks then…still is from what I hear) and continued playing for over 30 years in clubs and hotels from Gympie to Hobart, as well as The Woodford Festival, Gympie Muster, and support to top Australian and overseas acts. Many other fine musicians with years of local and international experience also appear on the CD with bio’s too long to list but needless to say I am very grateful for their fine playing
The concept of the album, which involves all the usual country and blues subjects ranging from woman trouble to woman trouble as well as irritating friends and relatives, deceased pets and other forms of existential angst, began in January, 2004.when I decided to put pen to paper and finally express myself. Another reason for producing this album was of course so that my children and future generations will have beer coasters and small placemats for decades.
Should anyone have the curiosity to listen to any downloads (you’re mad if you don’t, you might get a laugh!) and enjoy some of these bitter and twisted little numbers, or even buy my album, I can guarantee every dollar will go into the production of more music for your critical ear. Influences are (apart from the wife) Tony Joe White, Brian Setzer, Little Feat, Lucinda Williams, North Mississippi Allstars…go figure when you listen! And for guitar nerds like myself the guitar featured on the back of the CD and in many of the solos, is a very rare, Fender custom shop, GUILD PARK AVENUE X180, of which only a few were ever made.
WARNING:

Steve started life in the 50's as a guitar playing embryo, later advancing to high school bands and local Hobart bands, Lord Byron and the Hurricanes, supporting Kate Meehan and the likes of Ayers Rock, Mississippi and Sherbert to name but a few well known Aussie bands.
After conquering the badlands of Tasmania, Steve felt it was time to move to Queensland to play to a wider audience [and warm up]. In the Sunshine State he performed in Defunkt, Blue Suede Shoes, Bamboo Groove, Back Dog Bob and Sandy and the Sidekicks.
These bands appeared at festivals, clubs and hotels in three states of Australia, the largest venues being the Woodford Folk Festival and the Gympie Muster.
Steve's musical influences are Robben Ford, Little Feat, Tab Benoit, The Black Keys, Tony Joe White, Sonny Landreth, Johnny Hiatt, Red Rivers...
Steve recorded his debut album, 'My Best Mistakes during 2006 featuring a collection of original blues, country and rockabilly songs reflecting a laconic view of life and relationships as seen through the eyes of a nearsighted, guitar wielding, reluctant electrician.
The album received airplay throughout Australia as well as being played in America and Europe so undeterred, he yet again spent the rent money on a second album, 'Lost in the Forest of Blue Fingers'. Once again, all tracks are original songs of life, lust and foolish misadventure.
Listen to the samples and then buy the album so I can pay back the landlord and record some more music!
PS. Still suffering from guitar acquisition syndrome aka G.A.S. The latest addition to the collection being a Les Paul Goldtop.
