Biography - Steve Carlson
Born 06.08.1975 in Pasadena, California, Steve Carlson has played guitar and written songs since the age of 10. His heartfelt, lilting choruses and rolling country rhythms are no urban cowboy accents. They come from a lifetime dedicated to the music he loves.
Currently residing in the hills above Hollywood, California, Steve has spent the last few years focusing on collaborative songwriting with band mate, Christian Kane, and their band KANE. Steve first teamed up with Christian Kane in 1998. Soon thereafter, the two began showcasing their songwriting talents and unique harmonies at local clubs. Their partnership has produced a varied and abundant repertoire of original material.
In only a short time together, the band KANE and their always evolving set list have received overwhelming support from notoriously picky Los Angelinos and high praises from the critics.
In addition to songwriting, playing the guitar, and singing, Steve plays bass, dobro and mandolin. He is member of ASCAP.
In 2004, he formed The Steve Carlson Band along with bass player Steve Dress, a graduate of the Juilliard School, drummer Tim Jimenez, a California native who was an original member of the legendary 'Rave-Ups', signed to Epic Records, and saxophonist David Olivas, who earned his performance degree from the Berklee College of Music. Together they have become a constant on the L.A. club scene, selling out venues and awing both fans and critics alike.
