Steve from Canada ...
Lovejoy
Lovejoy happens to be my surname. Taken separately, these are two of the most admirable and desirable things one could ask for out of life.
Music tells stories, releases emotions; says the words that we cannot. It reminds us it's OK to be sad, to be angry. It brings out the sun on a lousy day.
Music transports us to events and places. Brings us close to friends who have departed.
These are the keys to the choices I have made in bringing together the songs I want to share.
My sets target a mature audience, likely children in the 60's and 70's. To be clear: I play music women love and appreciate. Where women enjoy being, men will follow. This is not an evening of beer pounding blues.
The LOVEJOY show took about 6 years to create. All parts have been played by myself with a couple of guest spots from musician friends. There is nothing mechanical or robotic going on. Each song track was recorded digitally in my own studio. This technology allows a quality, full band experience in a smaller venue. I play acoustic and electric guitar, as well as piano in your venue.
High quality instruments, skilfully played; excellent equipment, thoughtfully chosen songs with great lyrics. There is everything ranging from folk rock standards to 70's rock. Classic tunes, and deeper album cuts music fans will remember and enjoy.
