Guitarist, singer, song-writer, entertainer; Steve Pineo is a multifaceted artist. Writer of hundreds of songs, his tunes have been covered by country artists Paul Brandt (Canadian Man) and Prairie Oyster (Too Bad For Me). Steve’s songs have also been recorded by blues artists such as Willie Mac Calder, Tim Williams and Harp Dog Brown. Steve has five solo CDs, and appears on the legendary recordings by The Co Dependents, featuring the late great Billy Cowsill.

Currently, Steve performs solo, or with an acoustic trio (featuring guitar, piano and tuba!), an electric blues band(who have held down Monday nights at Calgary nightspot Mikey’s Juke Joint for the last ten years), a six piece New Orleans Rhythm and Blues revue called Trick Bag, and a five piece vintage jazz ensemble called Prohibition Hall. “Steve Pineo With Horns” is a show that runs annually featuring original songs and interesting (and sometimes bizarre) covers. Steve’s Christmas Show is a Calgary tradition which sells out a week’s worth of shows at Calgary’s primo live music venue-Ironwood Stage and Grill. Steve’s loving tribute to Elvis (featuring a five piece band and vocal quartet “The Heebee Jeebees”) has played in cities and towns all over Alberta.

Steve is also an in demand session guitarist and vocal, string and horn arranger, and has written over thirty choral arrangements for Calgary vocal ensemble Revv 52. Steve’s newest show is a collaboration with singer/songwriter Brooke Wylie called “A Night of Guilty Pleasures” where a group of Calgary luminaries pick songs they shouldn’t do. It’s a blast!

Not surprisingly, Steve’s musical influences are vast and include- blues, jazz, vintage rock and roll, country and western, soul, gospel and world music. His writing is influenced by everyone from Cole Porter to Bob Dylan, Merle Travis to Mose Allison. He has written songs about everything from broken hearts to Artificial Intelligence! Steve plays guitar in four different tunings, slide guitar, banjo, mandolin and harmonica. His shows are fast paced and entertaining, and they take you to unexpected places. A thirty year musical veteran, Steve continues to grow as an artist.
