His remarkable longevity, characterized by an unwavering dedication to social and artistic endeavours, has garnered him a substantial and steadfast fan base that continues growing in Canada and the United States.

Steve is currently working on a series of online guitar masterclasses based on the songs he’s written and recorded over the years, along with the continued release of new episodes of his podcast, Way Stations. He continues to perform regularly, having recently completed tours in Western Canada and Northern Ontario.

Early in 2024, Steve began work on his 22nd album, called “The Glad Surprise,” which was released in the fall and features a cover of Bruce Cockburn’s iconic song “Lovers In A Dangerous Time”.
