Steve Gifford Band

Steve embodies that singer-songwriter persona perfectly and effortlessly, without any of the self-consciously cool edge that has become common in recent years. His album, Boy On A Beach was met with great critical acclaim and has seen Steve open for Shawn Colvin and Steve Harley, as well headline slots at The Borderline and The Stables. Likened to Tom Petty and Neil Young, his fourth album, Ungodly Hour will be available from summer 2009.
