Bio

I'm a solo bedroom recording artist recording on an 8 track and love all creative song based music.Don't like to be limited by genre,but i'm probarbly acousticelectricpsychedeliclounge-folk-jazzin'pop/rock i guess if its gotta be narrowed down.. I live in a 24/7 fantasy music bubble in a flat in Birmingham UK and like going for long walks in the sunshine making up songs in my head.. when i'm not sitting at the computer surfing and getting red eye' My first solo album 'The Stars Are Never Really Distant' (released Dec 2006) is available to download here... Steve Ison - The Stars Are Never Really Distant and to BUY here... Steve Ison - The Stars Are Never Really Distant I Am an incredibly passionate and sincere dilettante,which sounds like a contradiction in terms i know,but for me it feels true.. THE MUSIC IS THE MESSAGE...THE MUSIC IS THE MESSAGE..THE MUSIC IS THE MESSAGE... Keepin' It unreal..

The Beatles,David Bowie,Simon And Garfunkel,The Kinks,T.Rex,Love,Nick Drake,Arthur Lee,Neil Young,Bob Dylan,The Incredible String Band,Roy Harper,The Byrds,The Mamas and Papas,The Velvet Underground,Elliott Smith

    Hi Steve, Glad you enjoyed Wonderland - I've just listened to the 3 songs you have uploaded and enjoyed each one - which isn't surprising when I read through your influences. Like me you love the 60's harmonic approach and quality songwriting.

    Check out my other band at http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/the-story - should be right up your street. Cheers, Tom
