Steve Bell Solo Bio
At the centre of the musical genre called “singer/songwriter” is the self-accompanied solo concert. No frills, nothing to hide behind – just the singer and the songs, offered up in the unique way that only that artist could summon.
In a normal year of touring, Steve Bell performs about one hundred concerts. Some are with the Steve Bell Band, some are with various symphony orchestras. The vast majority are solo concerts – just Steve with his guitar, seated on a stool at centre stage. Of these concerts, Steve says, “Solo concerts really are the place where I feel most at home. Maybe it’s because I’ve done literally thousands of them, maybe it’s because I can do the songs in any key or tempo I feel like, or maybe it’s just the most natural way for a singer/songwriter to perform. More likely, it’s because of the intimacy you can build with the audience. A good solo concert feels like making music with a group of friends – it feels like something communal happens, something of the tri-unity of God reflected in a communion of persons. That can happen in a larger concert as well, but there is a unique way it is facilitated by the transparency and vulnerability that are possible in a solo concert.”
Steve’s solo concerts feature his award winning songwriting and evocative tenor vocals, as well as his scintillating fingerstyle acoustic guitar artistry and his captivating story telling.
