LISTEN NOW

My name is Steve Gibson, I was born in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England .

I began playing guitar at the age of six and by the age of fifteen had achieved a distinction in  Grade 7 Classical Guitar with Trinity Collage, London, with honours.

Since moving to Canada I have listened more to Country Music and have been swayed more to a Country style of song writing. It is very popular and the songs have a lot of meaning and a story behind them, as do mine. I want people to hear my story by recording  songs, promoting them on radio and live performances.

I have played a lot of live shows and venues

including the main stage - Craven Country Jamboree, Casino Regina Show Lounge, as well as many bars and festivals, and I have had a lot of positive feedback from people who have seen my shows.

.

Around that time I began writing music and was accepted into Newcastle Upon Tyne College for Music and Performing Arts I passed my first year with honours. During this time I formed my first band The Travellers and began recording a few of my songs, but I had to abandon both my studies and my band when I emigrated with my family to Canada three years ago.

I have always been passionate about my style of lead guitar playing, which has been highly influenced by Mark Knopflor of Dire Straits, whom my father knew personally when they were younger
