Steve Law Band





We've just finished our new CD "Old Oak Tree". It is set for a September 2014 release. It is seven unique and different songs that highlight the the talents of each band member.

Steve Law Band "Old Oak Tree" is light, crisp and clean. It is impossible not to tap your foot or feel some warmth when you listen.

Steve Law has had "all this music" stored up for years, just building up. Now it is just pouring out. Mainly it is what he can create with a guitar and his voice. According to Steve, "going into the studio and playing with all kinds of unbelievable musicians is like laying down the best paint on a new canvas". Working with the audio painting is the opportunity to create in the world what he is thinking in his head.

Steve started learning guitar and cello in elementary and middle school. By the time he had reached high school he dropped the cello which was a "serious mistake" according to Steve. There is not a richer or fuller sound than that of the cello. When he looks back on his decision to quit playing cello it is something that he genuinely regrets. Since the guitar was easier to carry around, he stuck with that. He has been continuing to learn how to play the guitar since that time.

Steve Law Band's EP "Balance" was released in October of 2011

The excitement of playing has never worn off for Steve. Connecting with the audience is always so much fun, ulitmately being able to touch them (the audience) lyrically or musically, it starts an adventure that is shared. Regardless of whether it is 20 people or thousands, Steve and his band always give every show everything that they have to give.

Steve's influences are too many to mention with a full range from classical to heavy metal. Some artists to name a few are Tom Petty, The Beatles, Michale Hedges, Leo Kottke and the list goes on. It all comes down to primarily guitar driven music.

The bassist/guitarist/singer/engineer for the band is Kyle Zender. Toddy Ivy is the amazing voice and percussion that complements the sound of band, beautifully filling out the sound. Finally Hill Baker most recently joined the band on the drum kit and cajon.

The band has worked up over 30 original songs and a hand full of covers. Steve Law Band can play a short opening set from betweeen 3 to 3 hours.

The new songs seem to come out constantly now.The more I play the more I love it.I create interesting and unique guitar driven melody that is overlaid with lyrics from life experience that people can feel. We play as a four piece band.
