STEVE HILL - DESERT TRIP
Release Date: November 6, 2020
n the fall of 2016 I went to California with some friends to attend the Desert Trip Festival in Coachella. I had an amazing time while I was there and decided to hang around L.A. a little longer. After a couple of days in the city I felt an urge to move and a need to explore. I rented a camper van and criss-crossed the state for about 3 weeks, bought a guitar and wrote some tunes in it at night while camping in Death Valley, Big Sur, Yosemite, San Rafael and many other wild places.
These are the songs I wrote, along with a few vamped-up oldies of mine that fit right in as if they had been written on the same trip. Fast forward four years. As I write this, the world has become a very different place. Somehow these songs make more sense to me lately, a journey through my state of mind at the time, and maybe a foretelling of the way I feel now. I hope they can bring you a little joy and comfort in these troubled times.

Widely considered one of Canada’s most prolific guitarists, Steve Hill has never stopped delivering wildly ambitious performances and satisfying original albums. Heralded wherever he goes, the guitarist, singer, drummer, harmonica player, songwriter and accomplished producer is a musical force to be reckoned with. Forget the fact that he 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 27-year career, when you stop to hear his music you know you’re listening to the real deal.
A guitar stylist with a wide musical vocabulary, he has performed over 2,500 concerts in many configurations. For the past 8 years he has toured extensively throughout Canada and Europe in support of his critically acclaimed Solo Recordings albums trilogy and one man band show. Steve got his start as an 18-year-old sideman in 1993 and released his first album in 1997. Since then he has shared the stage with many of his heroes, like Ray Charles, B.B. King and ZZ Top, to name a few, and has played at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals.
With 11 albums of original songs to his name, he has explored everything from Rock, Country, Folk, and all kinds of music, while continuing to fuse it all with his first love, the Blues.
