THE STEVE WHALLEY BAND

Steve Whalley has drawn the attention of, and consequently forged working relationships with, artists at the very foundations of British and American popular and traditional music. Artists include Chuck Berry, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, James Burton and Gerry Rafferty. Wherever he performs audiences are left spellbound by his powerful and emotive delivery. His guitar style combines immense power and unorthodox savvy, ranging from Cooder-esque slide/bottleneck, through gospel, soul, rock, reggae and country. He has appeared on the Glastonbury main stage several times and is an old friend of the great Michael Eavis. Steve is currently signed to Spectra Records, USA. The Steve Whalley Band line UP features: Richie Brunton - Master of the telecaster and steel guitar. Close friend and sideman to the late, great Dr John. Major Baldini - Much in demand drummer.
