Bio
Some folks never get over their first love. For me it was The Beatles. I first heard them when I was ten (a little late, I know, but my parents had crap taste in music - dad liked the bagpipes, for crying out loud), and ever since then I’ve been lost in timeless melodies and immaculate harmonies of the Lads from Liverpool.
I’ve even had intense, torrid flings with the works of similarly-minded songwriters like Badly Drawn Boy, Ben Folds, David Ford, Eels, Elliott Smith, Elvis Costello, Nick Drake, and the incomparable Tom Waits. They’ve all left indelible marks upon my soul. In the end, however, my heart always comes back full circle to the splendorous sound of sunshine, happiness and light that is the fab four.
About
Hi. I’m Steve. I write songs about carnival freaks, pirates, bugs, the moon, Stephen Fry … you name it, I’ll write about it.
Okay, so here’s the deal...
Too lazy to rehearse a band or go on tour any anything else remotely resembling the pursuit of a career in the music business, I’ve retreated to my home studio to start work on my first solo album full of my songs just for the hell of it.
But rather than make you wait for me to finish & expect you to pay for it on good faith, I’m releasing the tracks as I finish them. You can download them for free & then decide later if you want to buy them.
You also get to decide what price you’ll pay for them. Don’t want to pay the full price on iTunes? Throw what you can into my tip (http://www.stevechatterton.com). It’s all good. You can even have it for free. I’m just happy to know you listened & gave it a chance.
