Steep Ravine
Since forming two short years ago in Santa Cruz and releasing their debut album Trampin On' (2014), San Francisco Bay Area acoustic folk and roots band Steep Ravine has toured all across the U.S. and into Canada. Now with the release of their new album The Pedestrian they dive deeper into their musical roots, bringing in an increasingly wide range of collective influences, from folk and jazz to bluegrass, pop and funk. Ultimately the music converges around the breadth and depth of principal lyricist and lead vocalist Simon Linsteadt's (guitar, banjo, mandolin, vocals) songwriting and the band's collaborative instrumental arrangements. Linsteadt's flatpicking and finger-style guitar work provide a vibrant harmonic framework for the music, along with tasteful jazz-tinged solos. Jan Purat's (violin, vocals) deep relationship to classical, bluegrass, and jazz violin shines through in his soaring solos and lilting melodies, and Alex Bice's (bass, drums, percussion, vocals) tremendous strength as a rock-solid acoustic bassist, percussionist, and drummer, adds a dynamic groove.
