Steve Bell ~ singer/ songwriter/ storyteller

Inspired by a lack of interest from the major record labels of the day, Steve Bell took matters into his own hands and founded Signpost Music in 1989. Under the direction of Bell and his producer and business partner Dave Zeglinski, Signpost Music has grown into a healthy independent label.

Signpost’s mission is to encourage Christian faith and thoughtful living through artful word and song.

This mission is carried out through the promotion and distribution of Steve’s music and concert ministry and by the distribution of other independent artists recorded work. Signpost Music is also home to Signpost Studios, a full featured digital recording studio used for both in-house and commercial recording projects.

On this part of the site you will find a biography, discography, photos, an award list, and (for all the guitar zealots out there) information about Steve’s gear.
