From Ben - Rhea and I saw Steve at the King
sville Folk Festival this summer and totally feel in love with him. You do
n't want to miss this show!)
Steve Poltz is not normal.
He was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia (Canada) but has lived most of hi
s life in Southern California and those geographic poles are quite likely
responsible for his unhinged genius. He is a dual citizen - Canada/USA - b
ut has often said that\, 'should a hostage situation arise\, I become conv
eniently Canadian.'
Over the course of his life hes met Elvis P
resley (who hugged his sister for far too long)\, trick or treated at Libe
races house (each finger had a diamond ring)\, was Bob Hopes favourite alt
ar boy (according to him)\, bravely traveled the world busking before he knew how to do it\, famously co-wrote You W
ere Meant For Me with Jewel\, pissed off David Cassidy and can count some
of the worlds coolest people as fans.
Hes also an ex high schoo
l wrestler (98 pound class)\, an obsessed baseball fan\, a yoga practition
er\, a hopeless romantic\, a smart-ass philosopher and a child-like advent
urer/observer with an absurdists view of this crazy world and the various
life-forms that inhabit it. He's interested in it all - the big and the sm
all\, the sublime and the ridiculous\, the terrestrial and the cosmic. He
doesn't just love life\, he rides it bareback\, naked\, at a full gallop w
ith one hand clenched deep in its mane and the other waving to anyone watc
hing as he flies by. Time is ticking and he has work to do . . .
As a recording artist\, hes fronted the semi-legendary Rugburns and is r
esponsible for a critically lauded body of work on his own: One Left Shoe\
, Chinese Vacation\, Answering Machine\, The Barn (a children's album)\, T
ales From The Tavern (a performance DVD)\, Traveling\, Unraveling\, Dreamh
ouse\, Noineen Noiny Noin and most recently the soundtrack for the acclaim
ed Sundance-screened documentary film\, Running Wild - The Life of Dayton
O. Hyde. \;
As good as his albums are (and they're very\, v
ery good)\, Steve positively owns a crowd when he's on stage\, where the p
roverbial rubber hits the road. His shows are the stuff of legend no two a
re alike and can take an unsuspecting audience from laughter to tears and
back again in the space of a single song. He is a master of improvisationa
l songwriting and works without a set list to be free to react instantly t
o the mood of a room. It's also worth mentioning that he is an astonishing
guitar player on top of everything else. He is quite possibly the most ta
lented\, and engaging\, solo performer on this planet. That's what 250+ sh
ows a year on three continents will do for you.
Whether he's Ca
nadian\, or American\, or simply from space there's no denying there's onl
y one Steven Joseph Joshua Poltz and to know him is to love him.

ing &\; Folk Festival yet!
