Front Room is thrilled to welcome Steve back to Weston after his wonderful live set last year. Don’t miss this visit as last year’s proved very special indeed. Steve Pledger is a multi-award-winning recording artist with an enviable reputation as a talented and dynamic performer. With writing that ranges from fragile reflections on love and loss to blistering commentaries on present circumstances, his songs pack an emotional punch, both on record and on stage. Cast in the mould of the classic troubadour, there are inevitably shades of those who ultimately have defined the role, and yet his blend of blistering social commentary, stark honesty, and fearless tenderness have marked Steve out as someone unafraid to create his own place in the singer/songwriter landscape. Discernible influences include Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, Loudon Wainwright lll, Graham Parker, Don McLean, Springsteen, and others. “Poetic, knowing, clever, thoughtful & melodic; the world would be a far better place with more of this stuff.” (8/10) Americana-uk “An object lesson in the craft of contemporary song writing.” fRoots Magazine “(‘Somewhere Between’) casts Steve as a protest singer, up there with the likes of Billy Bragg, Phil Ochs and Ewan MacColl.” Neil King, FATEA Magazine “Extraordinary! If you haven’t found Steve before, you have now!” Folking.com www.stevepledger.co.uk Event Details Doors Open at 6:30PM From 7:00PM to 8:30PM
