  • Description

    Steve Dawson is an accomplished Canadian guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Specializing in slide and fingerstyle guitar, pedal steel, lap steel, banjo and other stringed instruments, he is in-demand as a live performer, session musician, and producer.

    Bug Parade is Steve's first solo venture, following some time in Vancouver's The Spirit Merchants, as this band evolved into the well celebrated Zubot & Dawson (with violinist Jesse Zubot). His solo work came about the same time as another project developed, called The Great Uncles of the Revolution, which teamed up Zubot and Dawson with 2 exceptional jazz musicians from Toronto , Kevin Turcotte and Andrew Downing.

    "On Bug Parade, Steve's fine fingerpicking guitar work is front and center... Dawson demonstrates his prodigious slide skills on several cuts, notably "Peddlar and his Wife" and coaxes some fascinating, sitarlike sounds from his Weissenborn on "Into My Room". His clean, rhythmic playing clearly owes something to Leo Kottke... but Dawson has no shortage of unique compositional and technical ideas." - Ron Forbes-Roberts, Acoustic Guitar Magazine (July 2002)
