LA Weekly: Song/Artist pick of the week Steve Reynolds folk influenced style of writing and skillful guitar playing will certainly turn heads. His emotional live performance is a must see, solo or with a band. His music can be heard on KCRW, and people are catching on. Distilled in the music is the life experience of an artist willing to take risks to satisfy an irrepressibly curious soul and all that entails—indulgence, wanderlust, love, lost love, joy and a lot of pain, youthful run-ins with the law, full release, redemption and resultant wisdom. The stories contained are at once personal and universal--steeped in a depth of experience that belies his age. Call him mercurial. The Canadian expat troubadour has established a solid fanbase from his new home in Echo Park, California with performances that keep them guessing as to how he’ll throw it down that night. Solo acoustic w/finger-plucking flair (he’s an extraordinary guitarist), rockin’ quartet, levitation-inducing quintet with a keyboardist providing shimmering ambience…it’s never less than wonderful. Captivated audiences at the Hotel Café are in on one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles and the rest of the world for that matter. (taken from his myspace page) Read more on Last.fm.
