I have many songs, specializing in 80's Brit pop/rock, lot's of covers such as Beatles, Frampton, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, Squeeze, Crowded House, Hall and Oates, Tears for Fears, Thin Lizzy, Maroon 5 and much more.
We lived his entire musical song list, voice is sublime and character is fun!! I would book again in a heartbeat!
Response from Steve The Brit:
great venue, great people,great food, what more do you need ?
Steve did a nice job for us and we would definitely use him again!
Response from Steve The Brit:
beautiful home, wonderful people, was an absolute pleasure playing for the Martin's.
Great music, extremely nice man, would book again if we had a need!
We heard Steve play at the Good Lot. His song list was vast and eclectic with a great mix of several genres. He he put his unique spin on several classics. I would definitely go and see him again.
We saw Steve at a winery and knew we wanted him to perform at our wedding. Steve was very easy to work with beforehand and the day of. He's a true professional and an experienced musician.
He played during our ceremony and happy hour. Our guests and even some of the vendors commented on how great his performance was, and usually they are the first to drown out the music, but not with this man.
Response from Steve The Brit:
was a pleasure to play at this wedding, absolutely fantastic people
This guy rocks! Came to see Ryan Dale who cancelled, and pleasantly surprised. His voice is young and like velvet! Do not judge a book by its cover, this guy is older, but he rocks for reals!
Steve is a great entertainer. He doesn't power over the crowd, yet keeps the crowd engaged. He plays different genres and has a quick setup. He played for my husband's retirement party at our house. It rained all day until the party started, so we did implement a rain plan and he just rolled with the punches.
Response from Steve The Brit:
I thought everything went very well and it was a pleasure playing for such great people
Steve showed up with plenty of time to get situated and play on time. He performed like a champion amongst my guests. At the end, the party cheered for an encore and Steve delivered. We couldn’t be more pleased and he’ll always be welcome at our home.

It takes a long time to be a solid solo performer-I have done the work. These days I try to have as much fun as possible and I always encourage banter with the crowd. As I'm British- I always have something to say and I keep it light and funny and I always know when it's time to let the music do the talking. Can't remember the last time that I did not have fun at a show.
Started playing music at age 12 in Birmingham, England, moved to Taxas in the 80's. Played in several bands for a while, always felt solo music was a better fit for me. I have taken my 20 plus years of experience and used in my solo shows. With over 300 songs to choose from, I have something for everyone occasion.
