For Steve Harley, life on the road is more than just a job: it is almost his life’s blood.
And with the January 2020 release of the all-acoustic CD, UNCOVERED, the original Cockney Rebel shows no sign of slowing down.
Steve has been playing live shows around the world for over 45 years and the thrill of another night in another place to another audience has not dimmed at all.
"We have real adventures on tour" says Steve. "I’ve seen the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun and dozens of wonderful galleries, museums and great cities, all on my down-time. I have a great life as a Wandering Minstrel!"
UNCOVERED includes a re-recording of Steve’s popular song Love, Compared With You with a newly composed third verse, plus eleven other songs he’s always wanted to perform. The album features Barry Wickens on viola and acoustic guitar, Oli Hayhurst on double bass, Tom Hall on percussion and the Roots Music Legend, Martin Simpson, on guitar.
The acoustic sets for 2020 will include songs from the new CD, plus a selection from the vast and eclectic Harley Songbook. Mr Soft, Judy Teen, Sebastian and the legendary Make Me Smile will all be re-produced in the unique acoustic style.
