My show is geared for your listening enjoyment and relaxation. The best way to describe my show is that it is basically a style similar to what you would see at a James Taylor show or Zac Brown show. Its "easy listening" and its "non-obtrusive" for the patrons that are talking with friends or having dinner.
“I describe my music as the 'acoustification' of rock, pop, country, and rhythm and blues."~~Steve Testa
Steve Dallas Testa performs with his Taylor acoustic guitar, playing smooth, eclectic renditions of popular classic rock, pop, country, rhythm & blues, and folk tunes from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.
Steve’s vocals, deeply influenced by his Texas upbringing and his soulful passion for music, work together to create new sounds on cherished classics!
Spend a relaxing evening listening to Steve’s original works, and the best of Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Chesney, Johnny Cash, John Fogarty, The Beatles, The Doobie Brothers, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Willie Nelson, and the Eagles, among others.
Steve will perform at your restaurant, bar, coffee shop, corporate event, or deck venue. Give your patrons a night to remember, whether you need quiet background music for dinner or drinks, or a fun-filled night with plenty of laughs, banter, and audience participation. Check out Steve’s performances at Dave’s Down Town Lounge, Applebee’s, and Juice ‘n Java!
