The Artist
Steve is a highly recommended Corporate Entertainer.
With over 20 years of playing experience and with an average of 200 gigs per year you can rest assured that he will deliver a performance you'll be talking about for a long time to come . Since 2007 Steve has performed alongside Darren Hayes (Savage Garden) as his guitarist - touring in Australia America Canada Europe and the UK. More recently Steve has been working as Musical Director for West End star Ramin Karimloo (Phantom, Les Mis) touring the UK & USA with his Musical Theatre/Pop/Rock group.

In addition to ‘live’ touring Steve has performed on many TV & Radio stations worldwide.

Your event
As standard Steve travels with a fully professional Mackie PA system. Ranging from a small 50W Acoustic vocal amp for background music right up to a full size 2000W rig for large rooms and a rowdy atmosphere (however at this point you may want to consider his fantastic band - Youngstar). There is also a tambourine and spare mic on hand in case anyone wants to join in. In addition to his PA Steve brings a small LED lighting rig. A larger rig can be requested at the time of booking.

During sets background music will be supplied via an MP3/Laptop. You may also use your own playlist provided it is on an MP3 player or Laptop.

Solo Duo Trio Combinations
Steve can also also perform with a Male or Female backing vocalist and/or a three piece band.

Owen Stephen is an amazing solo act in his own right plays bass for Steve's band 'Youngstar' and for the Artist - Darren Hayes. With Owen and Steve you get a lively duo with two guitars two lead vocals and plenty of fun in between.

Gemma is a pure diva boasting an amazing voice. Singing for over 10 years she provides a fun and vibrant visual dynamic to Steve's solo act. Gemma sings Lead & harmonies along with some good old tambourine shaking.
If thats not enough you can hire Steve's band Youngstar - a rocking powerful three/four piece that leaves you in no doubt the party has arrived. Lights Smoke Machine and whole lotta' jumping around.

If that all sounds a bit too much you can have a stripped down acoustic band. Steve & Owen on Vocals Bass and Acoustic guitar and a steady beat from the drummer using specialist 'quiet' sticks called 'Hot-Rods'. Suitable for a more sedate smaller venue but still more than up-beat enough to have a good boogie.

It's a little bit like making your own Pizza. Ask your Alive Network agent for more details of all the above combinations fees and set lists.
