Steve Westaway writes and plays his own music/text in addition to singing other peoples songs. He likes to create atmosphere and warmth and quiet when he plays although he occasionally also likes to play/sing in a band. In principle he prefers to perform in concert, where the text can also be understood.

Steve offers a variety of programs in the form of either his solo concerts or currently with the Worpswede Session musicians.

Previously working with his duo partner, the exceptional Bremen guitarist Peter Apel or as part of the Trio Blues Plus with Klaus Grossert and Justus Jonas
