From 10 pm, live music by Australian singer/songwriter Steve McLeod!
www.myspace.com/steviemyspace
From Melbourne, Australia, Steve McLeod – singer, songwriter, guitarist, got hooked to music at 4 years old after seeing a Prince video. He began studying classic piano. By his early teens his love and understanding of music had grown, wanting to learn more instruments and styles. The guitar became his main focus, then the drums, bass and songwriting.
After high-school, Steve started experimenting with original compositions. His love for jazz found him in Los Angeles at Richie Kotzen’s recording studio, recording a solo jazz-instrumental album.Whilst working on this material, Steve was working on productions and songwriting for various Australian bands and singers. One demo even caught the eye of EMI’s Executive Director, who encouraged Steve to take a more rock, vocal direction – closer to his initial experimenting.
In 2006/07 Steve moved to Los Angeles where he attended the Musician’s Institute, furthering his musical landscape. During this time studying and working on his album, Steve wrote and produced music for Emmy Award winning TV in the U.S.
With his debut album “Human Uniform” now completed – Steve wrote, produced, arranged, sang all vocals, played all instruments on this album. It was recorded in various studios in Los Angeles and Melbourne. For interviews and clips go to myspace.com/steviemyspace.
