ABOUT STEVE...
Steve Edwards is a solo electro-acoustic guitarist and vocalist based on the Shropshire / Mid Wales border, who regularly gigs at pubs, wine bars, hotels and bistros, and also at private parties. He typically has a lively style, playing popular covers, but can also chill things down when required!
A late starter (at age 37), Steve's first ever public performance was at a friend's charity event in May 2012, and the opportunity was presented to him on the morning of the show. He took a major leap of faith, thoroughly enjoyed it, and hasn't looked back!
His first prepared-for gig was in June of 2012, where he played 3 half-hour sets in 3 separate pubs as part of Welshpool Music Festival, and was subsequently asked to play supporting slots with a number of Mid Wales based acts at pub venues, charity events, and also played at Crash Festival 2012, and Waterloofest.
After these early supporting slots, Steve was thrilled to be given his first headlining night at Welshpool's Royal Oak Hotel for what was then the town's only weekly live music session, "Oak Live". This was quickly followed by one support slot, and then a headliner at Ludlow's lovely venue "The Wine Bar", and a night of his own at the Black Lion in Llanfair Caereinion.
2013 kicked things on further, with many more new venues played, his first wedding party done, culminating in a headline slot at The Royal Oak (Welshpool) New Year's Eve dinner.
At time of writing (April 2019), Steve is in his 7th year of gigging, and has clocked up over 300 live performances, and played very nearly 450 different songs.
The range of artists covered are really wide and diverse, and Steve's aim is always to mix things up and leave the audience wondering what could be coming next.
Artists covered include The Jam, Paolo Nutini, Elbow, Beyonce, Small Faces, Amy Winehouse, The Who, Otis Redding, Oasis, Gnarls Barkley, U2, ABBA, Ed Sheeran, Frank Turner, The Beatles, Jack Savoretti, One Direction, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Stereophonics, The Killers, Ryan Adams, Biffy Clyro and Queen.
