Steve has been playing live for more than 45 years and the thrill of another night in another place to another audience has not dimmed at all.
“We have real adventures on tour,” said Steve.
“I’ve seen the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun and dozens of wonderful galleries, museums and great cities, all on my down-time. I have a great life as a Wandering Minstrel!”
“Uncovered” includes a re-recording of Steve’s popular song “Love, Compared With You” with a newly composed third verse, plus 11 other songs he’s always wanted to perform.
Steve also sings a duet with the Scottish singer, Eddi Reader.
The acoustic sets for 2022 will include songs from the new CD, plus a selection from the vast and eclectic Harley Songbook.
Steve also received a lifetime achievement award for acoustic music from the Acoustic Festival of Britain in 2018.
