<THE ALBUM:
"Steve's signature vocal provides beautiful continuity as he comfortably threads together an album combining rock, funk, soul, R&B & folk on his latest release entitled "Groovin on the Inside"
BIOGRAPHY:
"Steve Carlson is a seasoned musician who has lived life and written parables that are almost visual. His own dynamic, combined with that of his collaborators, creates a presentation that brings stories to life."
Born and raised in Southern California, Carlson had a bohemian upbringing in an artistic family. He developed an appreciation for music early on and at the age of ten he began writing songs, playing guitar and eventually found himself performing in local bands throughout high school. Upon graduation, Steve traveled quite a bit until he fell in love with Hawaii where he lived for over two years. It was there that he honed his songwriting and began playing the mandolin and steel guitar.
Currently residing in Hollywood, Steve has had several original songs placed in film and television projects including "Kinda Crazy These Days" placed in the ABC show "Men In Trees", "Night Time" placed in the WB's "Supernatural" last year. One track on the album, "Now That My Love Is Gone", has been placed in the upcoming film, "Be My Baby". Other films in which Steve's had song placement include "Just Married", "Life Or Something Like It", “Memore”, etc
Carlson's new album "Groovin On the Inside" promises to awe and inspire listeners, combining elements of rock, funk, R & B stylings and as expected - poignant and gripping ballads, with which Carlson's fans have come to love and expect. "Groovin' on the Inside" is Carlson's first, full-length collaboration with Music Producer and friend, Darren Sher. When music industry's favorite mixer, Jeff Juliano was brought in to mix each song for the album, all the ingredients fell into place, ensuring an exciting and passionate record that will undoubtedly become an instant classic.
"Though he evokes some of the best singers/songwriters of the seventies, Carlson has a modern edge and a neo-country aroma to his work that sets it apart. 'Spot In The Corner', his full length CD, presents a thoughtful, skillful artist and his backup players."
