 Lyrical
Rock with haunting melodies and a strong sense of place
and time. Very Diverse. A Rock & Roll journey with
the storyteller.
Powerful and dark. Wonderfully
melodic. Organic and wistful. Haunting, lyrical, and
surprisingly diverse. Rife with a sense of place and
time. These are just some of the words used to describe
the music of Joel Steven. Now you can experience all
of this in one album, "Fathomless." Fourteen
beautifully recorded and dynamic songs totaling over
one full hour of music!
His colorful background sets
the stage for his songs. A lover of the English language
from an early age, Joel took his talent for writing
poetry and fiction and entered the world of songwriting.
His unique ability as a poet and storyteller was infused
with his love for melody, creating a landscape where
words and
music reinforce one another, bringing the listener on
a journey where each song has a setting all its own.
Influenced musically by greats
like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Allman Brothers,
Neil Young, Rush and Yes, Steven sculpted a guitar style
rich in emotion and mindful of tone. You may hear echoes
of Jimmy Page, David Gilmore, and Carlos Santana within
the bluesy and often improvised guitar solos. While
his unique singing voice is at best difficult to define,
it has been compared to that of Steven Stills and Jon
Anderson of Yes.
Perhaps the most intriguing quality
about Joel's new CD "Fathomless" is its remarkable
diversity. From the dark and almost sinister title track,
to the soaring
acoustic ballad "Reflected," to the humorous
southern tinged "Hypocrisy," Steven is clearly
not afraid to cross into new territory in hopes it will
bring the listener to place where they see something
of their own life within his words and music.
