Seasick Steve

Post by Ragnorak »

The other day while chilling out with friends in our local club, the owner put a CD on in the background for us to listen to.

I liked it and asked the owner who it was etc. He told me that it was a fella by the name of 'SeaSick Steve' and that he played a 3 string guitar and a home made box that he stomped on to give him his beat.

So once back on the net I did a little research and yeap he does play a 3 string guitar and he's even been on Jools Holland's New Year show.

Just wonder if any of you guys have come across his music..

Saw him a couple of times on the New Year Jools Holland show and thought he was brilliant both times.

What a contrast in sound and vision, his music's great yet he looks like the average redneck hillbilly McCain/Palin voter from the deep south. :wink:

He did a good set at the Leeds/Reading festival in August, if you can find that online somewhere....

I watched Seasick Steve instead of Portishead at ATP last December, and I love Portishead so consider that an endorsement.

Steve is a fantastic musician, saw him on the mainstage at Glastonbury this year. His three string guitar pieces are well worth watching.
One is truly amusing when one can amuse ones self.
