"Steve Hill has a distinctly old-school blues sound with a fresh contemporary twist and it is most certainly refreshing to see."- National Rock Review
"If you love Blues based rock and you've never heard of Steve Hill,
I guarantee you will become a fan after you hear his music
.
"
- Dedicated Rocker

When it comes to one-man bands, guitarist and singer extraordinaire Steve Hill has no limits. Anything goes. He is the true exponent of a one-man band. Steve performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, his feet playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar, any other percussion within reach.
Steve’s an overnight sensation that’s 20 years in the making. He’s an ambitious and raucous force to be reckoned with on the Canadian and international blues-rock scene. Now, he’s ready to break out internationally.

"Steve Hill deserves to be known and acclaimed worldwide."- Metal Discovery 9/10
"This is unfeigned, unadulterated, blues-rock excitement
with enough skilled flick and tuck to suggest a lifetime
of brilliance and dexterity
."

Following the success of his JUNO nominated Solo Recordings Volume 1, which also won "Album of The Year" at the International Blues Challenge in 2013, and JUNO Award winner Solo Recordings Volume 2, Steve Hill first released his brand new album Solo Recordings Volume 3 in Canada on March 4, 2016. Now, a year later, the album will finally be released domestically in the UK on Friday 6th October 2017.
"The One-Man Blues Rock Band" features originals that are outright rockers (DamnedDangerousRhythm All OverThe Ballad of Jonny WaboStill Got It Bad to more acoustic-based melodic tracks (Emily) and three re-imagined and rearranged covers (Voodoo Child). The live album shows an artist at the top of his game. It comes to no surprise why the Montreal Gazette has referred to Steve Hill as, “the meanest guitar player in Canada.”

"An unbelievable cacophony of predominantly
blasting rock blues that bursts to life

"When it comes to one-man guitarist and singer extraordinaire,
Steve Hill appears to have no limits

“I wanted to capture a live album that featured all the energy of my live shows,” says Steve. There are no overdubs on this live album…  I play everything myself in real time.  There are no tapes or loops. What you hear is what you get.”
In January 2015, Steve was awarded four coveted Maple Blues Awards including Electric Act of the Year, Guitarist of the Year, Recording/Producer of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. Solo Recordings Volume 2 won the 2015 JUNO Award for Blues Album of the Year.

Throughout his career, Steve has shared the stage with many of his musical heroes including Ray Charles, BB King, ZZ Top, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, Jeff Beck and many others. Over the course of nine albums he's explored everything from hard rock, country, and stoner rock to folk music while always incorporating the essence of his first love, the blues.
Steve’s reputation as an exciting performer has provided him the opportunity to showcase his talents at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals including the Montreal Jazz Festival, Ottawa Bluesfest, Jazz Winnipeg Festival, Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, Kitchener Blues Festival and more. Steve Hill is clearly in his element as a solo artist and one-man band, inviting listeners into a world of musical madness in the form of blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

"Hill’s strength is with the punchy innovation
of his assertive electric guitar playing

- Blues In Britain
"We’ve seen some multi-tasking set-ups in our time but
one-man Canadian Blues rock band, Steve Hill, raised
even Total Guitar’s eyebrows
