STEVE BASKIN
The latest

Steve is at Red Light Cafe in Atlanta on Friday, December 11.  Steve, Alex and Zoot will be playing a cool acoustic set at the Red Light Cafe on Friday, December 11. Steve's taking the songs back to where he wrote them -- on the guitar. Alex Slinin will be there playing his cool melodies and amazing leads (even planning on singing along). Zoot will be singing and playing the accordion and anything else he decides to bring.  The show is scheduled for 7:30P -- they should be on by 8.

A fun time at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta! 
The Wandas opened the show and were excellent.  The Duhks were a treat.  Very eclectic approach to excellent Americana music -- even though there from Canadia.  Check both bands out and thanks for coming!


After a dip to #35 last week,
Catch Me If You Can was the 12th most added tune in the US on the ACQB charts this week.


Catch Me If You Can
was the #10 most added tune in the US on the ACQB charts for the week of August 24!

The opening tune from Steve's new album Naked is on the radio.  Just added on KLBQ-FM in El Dorado, Arkansas; KSPI-FM in Oklahoma City, OK; WOCO-FM in Oconto, WI; WQXQ 101.9 FM in Greenville, KY; KBMO 93.5 FM in Benson, MN; WSQL 1240 AM in Brevard, NC; KYFM 100.0 FM in Bartlesville, OK; KCBZ 94.9 FM in Seaside, OR (playing Naked too!); KYTI 93.7 FM in Sheridan, WY and WCMJ 96.7FM in Cambridge, OH -- we're doing CD give-aways beginning next week in Cambridge.


Steve's new album Naked is now available at CDBaby.com, iTunes, Amazon and right here.
Steve has finished up work on Naked, the follow-up to his debut album I Sometimes Think.  The new record continues down the path that his debut album, I Sometimes Think, began with singer/ songwriter power pop spiced with a bit of Southern fried seasoning, and he has expanded his range with new styles, sounds and themes. While I Sometimes Think largely explored emotions around love and relationships, Naked’s themes run all over the place – love; love gone bad; running; the stress of the office; the Zen of the river; runaways; prostitution; and death.

Great time at the Peachtree Road Race! 
Happy Fourth of July and thanks to everyone who came up to say hey today at the Peachtree Road Race awards stage.  The band was unanimous on what a great gig it turned out to be.  Big stage, excellent sound and tens of thousands of folks in front of the band. 

 


Congratulations to everyone who ran the race and ran the event.  Special thanks to Tracey Russell and Janet Monk for all of the excellent band-handling.



The Valdosta Daily Times says that Naked is "just some unvarnished great music".
Dean Poling of the Valdosta Daily Times had nice words to say about Steve's new album, Naked. <more>

  • Steve and the Band are at Smith's on Saturday, October 17 opening for international touring artists, The Duhks.

    The Winnipeg, Manitoba-based Duhks have always gravitated towards traditional roots-based song structures, but they've never stopped evolving since their inception five years ago. Due in part to a collective musical worldview that knows no boundaries, that evolution led the band to their latest offering Fast-Paced World, the first Duhks record to feature wunderkinds Sarah and Christian Dugas (replacing vocalist Jessee Havey and percussionist Scott Senior respectively). It's an album that reflects the quintet's newfound confidence, with Sarah bringing five original songs to the band's encyclopedic collection of originals and covers both old and new.
