This past month saw a bunch of music getting going again - I had a livestream show with Garry Elliott playing Bill Evans compositions, and took part in the first performance this year at the National Arts Centre's 4th Stage…

In an effort to keep my website up-to-date I've decided to do a monthly recap of what I've been up to.  Hopefully this can become part of my routine, as posting on Patreon has.

My online group classes were well…

Thanks so much for your various types of support this year.  In January 2021 I started my free online zoom group classes.  In February I started a Patreon page to catalog these classes, as well as post weekly performances…

Hello everyone,

I've made a note to share all of my public posts here more frequently - I've been really good at updating and posting on my Patreon page three times a week if you are desperate for more Steve…

Hello!

I recently made a post over on my Patreon page letting everyone know about my upcoming shows with the Ottawa Jazz Festival, which is in large part local talent this year, which is very exciting to me. 

The post…

Hello, 

This week I posted the entire video of the Distanced Duo show with Jennie Seaborn on my Patreon page if you are interested.  I also have settled into a nice routine with my weekly Monday afternoon sessions on Facebook…

Just a reminder that tonight (Thursday June 10) at 7:30PM I will be hosting a live show/presentation on my Zoom with drummer Jennie Seaborn.  Similar to the previous duo concert with Scott Latham I will eventually post a recording here…

I'm excited to announce that I will be making all of my previous online classes and handouts available on my new Patreon page:

For as little as $5/mo you can access a wide array of handouts, exclusive videos, as well…

I'm so pleased at how these Saturday group classes are going - please feel free to stop by and hangout.  I will be presenting different mini-topics each week through the school term.  

On the Jan 23 class, I talked about…

As of January 2021 I have started a weekly group class for my teaching studio, every Saturday morning at 11AM over Zoom.

I haven't played a concert with another musician since March, so I'm ultra-excited to don my mask and play on the socially-distanced stage over at Irene's Pub tomorrow night.  Check the event listing on facebook for more info.

On the wall in my teaching studio there are three IKEA LP frames that fit vinyl records that can be easily swapped in and out.  Because I can only listen to vinyl in the basement, it's a nice daily reminder…

Just a quick note to let you know that the third of the five solo albums I recorded this year are now available on most music streaming services.  Physical CDs will be ready when all five are finished.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am going forward with my five-album solo piano project.  I'm happy to announce that I have received the Canada Council Digital Originals grant to help distribute my music online.  As…

I have been preparing some new solo piano music but in the meantime, I updated my store to only show physical products, as I've made most of my earlier albums available on major streaming services like Spotify.  I also added…

I wanted to share the sad news of the passing of one of my favourite Ottawa jazz musicians, an inspiration and a mentor to me and many other local players.

Thanks to the Ottawa Citizen for including us in their best bets for this weekend.  

Here's a clip of last year's show where we first tried this combination of musicians.

In preparation for this Sunday's concert with John Geggie and Tim Bedner I've been listening to a few really great new (to me) pieces of Brazilian music.  The songs I brought in were "Corsarios" by Bosca, a Hermeto Pascoal…
