Steve began playing drums at 11 and at 15 began to play the pubs with everyone from local artists to Canadian legend Stompin’ Tom Connors. Since transitioning to original songwriting in the 90’s, he is now known across Canada and the US as a singer/songwriter in the vein of Nick Lowe or Billy Bragg with a history of dissent and telling the story with words, music and solidarity with a career that spans three decades. His activism is inseparable from his songwriting and his music reflects a deep connection to the labour movement and the plight of the working-class.
