Steve's Catalog available soon on iTunes + New CD News!
Steve is currently arranging deals with online digital distributors for his entire catalog.
Here is a message from Steve: "Hi everyone - sorry to be out of touch for so long, but suffice it to say there is a lot happening behind the scenes at the moment. Aside from the iTunes and other digital download releases, I am looking into the possibility of licensing some of my songs for use in films, which is an avenue I have always wanted to pursue. Fortunately, there seem to be some doors opening for me at the moment, and prospects look good - more later! As to the upcoming CD project, well that has now become 3 CDs!! There was just way too much material for only one release, and because of the variations in style and feel I decided to do 3 separate projects in the interest of continuity. I will post audio clips in the "Downloads" are of this site, so if you haven't joined my mailing list yet now is a good time - you will have access to clips that are unavailable to non-members, and can follow all three projects as they are created."

"Baja Prog" Festival update!
Steve's performance was well-received by both the crowd & other participating bands. It was a great four days of meeting fans and new friends as well!
In Steve's words:
"Playing at Baja Prog '05 was a wonderful experience. It gave me the chance to make a lot of new friends and speak to many fans over the 4-day period, in a comfortable and relaxed atmoshpere. All of the bands who were involved fully supported & encouraged each other, which I found inspiring. The producers of the festival were professional, helpful people who made my stay most welcome. I'm looking forward to doing it again!!

Bonus tracks recorded for upcoming CDs!
A day of recording drum & bass tracks for two new songs yielded some superb tracks, with Karen Teperberg & Desha Dunnahoe once again providing a powerful rhythm section to compliment Steve's guitar work on two great new songs.
Engineered by Mike Harrison, who was also responsible for engineering the drum & bass tracks on "Camera Obscura", Desha & Karen ripped into two new tracks, each to be added to the re-release of Steve's first two CDs.
The tracks are "Wah Happened, a full-tilt rock song with, as Steve himself describes it, "A sufficiently twisted" guitar solo, and ""Underwater" , a song written by Kit Watkins, arranged by Steve.

Steve's first two solo CD's to be re-released soon!
To bring the first two solo albums in line with the new release "Camera Obscura", work is underway on both albums. New artwork, sleeve notes as well as bonus material and re-mastering will inject new life and interest in these already superb products.
Steve will be back in the studio shortly to record a few new songs, as well as the Kit Watkins track UNDERWATER which was played live on the Vertigo Tour. Kit wrote the track whilst on tour with Camel in Germany, but Steve was able to hear it on a DAT tape KIT had supplied to a good friend, and it caught his ear.
