Widely considered as one of Canada’s most prolific guitarists, JUNO award winning Steve Hill has shared the stage with many of his heroes, including Ray Charles, B.B. King, Hubert Sumlin, Jimmie Vaughan, and ZZ Top. He consistently delivers wildly ambitious performances and albums and Hanging on a String is no exception as the guitarist, singer, drummer, harmonica player, songwriter, and accomplished producer recorded his latest album, in Los Angeles, at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606. Produced by 10 times Grammy award winner Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Paul McCartney) and mastered by six times Grammy winner Michael Romanowski, Steve Hill's latest album is said to be as close to the heart as you can get and I'm excited to confirm that you will have the opportunity to catch Steve live in the Crowsnest Pass, AB on March 17, 2025. Read all about the release of Hanging on a String in the upcoming January issue of Guitarist Magazine.
