Description
Logging close to 100 dates a year since 2004, Stephen Simmons has amassed a fan base stretching across the States. 2007 then marked his first career steps in Europe with a tour that took him to numerous venues in France, Holland and UK and that included the prestigious Blue Highways Festival. His honest, complex songs have earned him the distinction of storyteller, and his road-honed chops, whether performing solo or with a band, have marked him a must-see live act.
With two highly acclaimed CDs to his credit and comparisons from anyone from Johnny Cash to Steve Earle and Ryan Adams, he is well positioned to successfully launch this third release. Produced by Richard McLaurin (Billy Joe Shaver, Matthew Ryan, Malcolm Holcombe), the album articulates the romance and wreckage of relationships between men and women in a roots-tinged, guitar driven 45 minutes.
Once again Stephen weaves a tapestry of colourful characters and catchy melodies that hook the listeners from first play. Recorded with full band, the album is (as is Stephen Simmons himself) certainly one to watch in the field of Americana singer/songwriters.
