About this user

Steve Parry hails from Minnesota, the land of John Gorka and Bob Dylan. Having traveled the earth he finally staked his claim in Stillwater, MN. His travels have led him to live in some of our country's iconic music cities like Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans. Using a pinch of spice from each of these locales, to flavor his songs, allows Steve to create a banquet of musical delight. Texas musicians have had an especially major influence on his song style.

Here's a recent quote by a national music industry professional about Steve's music:

"I very much enjoyed hearing this material. You have a wonderfully evocative voice, and I love the fact that these performances sound so relaxed and expressive. In terms of style, it sounds like your music has just blown in off the midwestern plains. There's a stark nature to the arrangements that recalls in my mind windswept fields, weather beaten barns, and Depression era America. Very evocative."

Steve's music tends to make audiences feel they are living his stories first-hand. He crafts his art with pen and guitar rather than canvas or clay. Some of Steve's favorite fellow storytellers are John Prine, Slaid Cleaves, Michael O'Connor, Verlon Thompson, Guy Clark, Jonathan Byrd and Steve Earle to name just a few. He's happiest when he can spark a memory with a melody from the past, or create a new one with a brand new song. When he sees his listeners smiling and tapping their toes a he knows a connection has been made.

Steve has had the honor of opening for a number of nationally known artists such as: Billy McLaughlin, Seth Glier and Jonathan Byrd.

His music has been featured on FM radio in the US, Europe and Australia as well as a number of internet bases stations.
