Steve's original songs and eclectic repertoire blend elements of pop, jazz, new age, and classical music. With the aid of a few electronic toys, he weaves intricate multiple passages before the audience's eyes and ears, building a one-man orchestra of acoustic fingerstyle guitar. With his "digital guitar" he also can recreate dozens of sounds you'd never expect to come from a guitar.*
