"I must say that on first listen I was shocked to hear one of the best records I've heard in a very long time. As I listened I heard Michael Franks and Stephen Bishop and Harry Chapin but mostly I heard Steve Deasy. What a wonderful collection of songs. His sound is addicting. I kept wanting to know what the next song would be about. I was never disappointed as the tracks rolled by. A new Randy Newman is born." Dean Sciarra - ItsAboutMusic.com "Steve Deasy has a beautiful voice and he's an excellent guitar player! He also has a wicked sense of humor. I played the song about the lawyer and the one about Wayne Newton for my family and they were cracking up. Steve Deasy is bringing back folk music to what it should be about, real life!"

His inventions have been on the Space Shuttle and on cool cars like the Jaguar S-Type, the Aston Martin Vanquish, and the new Ford GT. Steve is a multi-instrumentalist, playing piano, guitar, bass, and most other instruments which have strings or a keyboard. His main influences include James Taylor, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, Richard Thompson, Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, and Michael Peter Smith (the folksinger from Chicago, Illinois, not the Christian pop artist) and too many others to list. The songs are well crafted, and are best classified as triple A, or Adult Album Alternative. If you are wondering what that means, just think folk, folk/rock, rock/pop, classic rock, blues, and alternative. Steve is a little retro, and so is his music. While on a high altitude automotive test trip in the mountains of Colorado in 1998, Steve saw a flyer for the Durango Songwriting Expo featuring workshops with Jimmy Webb, one of his favorite songwriters and main influences. Drawn to meet Jimmy and rekindle his interest in music and writing, Steve returned to Durango one month later to attend the expo. He has been writing and improving his craft ever since. Courage, his first CD, produced in collaboration with close friend and Pittsburgh-based producer Buddy Hall, is the culmination of those first efforts, but only a beginning. Steve says, "I may be late to the game, but I think this is what I was meant to do. I sincerely hope that my music will entertain people and show them something interesting. I appreciate your support I hope to do this for a long long time." Vistis Steve's web site
