BIO
Widely considered as one of Canada’s most prolific guitarists, Steve Hill has consistently delivered wildly ambitious performances and albums. Heralded wherever he goes, the guitarist, singer, drummer, harmonica player, songwriter and accomplished producer is a musical force to be reckoned with.
Further to the facts that Steve has won a Juno award, played concertos with Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra, won enough Blues awards to fill a bathtub and walked the boards of too many stages to count throughout his 30-year career, when you stop and start listening to his music, you know you’re listening to the real deal.
Already playing the bar circuit at the age of 16, Steve turned pro two years later when he joined the Bob Harrisson Blues Band. He left after two years to pursue a solo career. His first album was releases in 1997, and lead to Real Blues magazine proclaiming: “Steve Hill is for my money the best young Blues guitarist on the North American scene today.”
He spent the next fifteen years touring across Canada and Europe, releasing albums with different line-ups, until he became a one-man band in 2012. Following the success of his JUNO nominated Solo Recordings Volume 1, which also won at the International Blues Challenge in 2013, Solo Recordings Volume 2 won the Juno Award and 7 Maple Blues Awards in 2014-2015. It was followed by Solo Recordings Volume 3 in 2016 which has had close to six million streams on Spotify so far. In 2018, he released The One-Man Blues Rock Band. 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.”
A guitar stylist with a wide musical vocabulary, he has performed over 2,500 concerts in many configurations. For the past 10 years, he has toured extensively throughout Canada and Europe supporting his critically acclaimed Solo Recordings albums trilogy and his one-man band show. When it comes to one-man bands, 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 and with a drum stick fused to the head of his trusty guitar to hit the hihats and a cymbal. Leading Germany’s Guitar Magazine proclaimed Steve as being “the most spectacular one-man band on the planet”.
Over the years, he has shared the stage with many of his heroes, including Ray Charles, B.B. King, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan and ZZ Top, to name a few, and has played at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals. With 12 albums of original songs to his name, he has explored everything from Rock, Country, Folk, Metal, Jazz, while continuing to fuse it all with his first love, the Blues.
