Steve Dawson

Over the past two decades, Steve Dawson has become such an indelible fixture on the Americana musical landscape that it’s tempting to take him for granted. The music that flows out of him is so natural and authentic that it’s possible to forget all of the toil that went into producing it. Steve is a versatile musician and multi-instrumentalist but is mostly known as a slide, steel and pedal steel player. He has developed a style and voice on those instruments that can only come from years of touring and working in the studio. While his solo work focuses on the slide guitar in its many forms, and displays advanced technique and mastery, his work in the studio is geared towards the artists that he works with and supporting their vision and songwriting. Artists like Kelly Joe Phelps, Allison Russell and Matt Andersen have all called on Steve to help realize their vision on stage and in the studio.
