STEVE DICKINSON Steve Dickinson is one of those rare artists who can get right to the core of what the good old days were all about. This prolific Ontario singer-songwriter has carved a nice niche of romanticizing the times when being young and reckless were all that mattered. His musical stories hark back to the glory days when life was simple and hopes for the future shone brightly. Steve stamps those stories into the psyche with his crystal clear vocals and a melodious, roots/rock type sensibility that, like Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, have a distinctive and unmistakeable sound. Fortunate enough to open for a long list of international performers early on, Steve has won over new audiences on the strength of his own material, whether solo or co-written.Steve has been recognized by some of the industries best over the years. Alto Reed of Bob Seger's Silver Bullet Band has given Steve the honour of handling the lead vocals in the Alto Reed Allstar Band. Other members of this band include Drew Abbott (Silver Bullet) Jamie Oldaker and George Terry (Clapton). His first appearance (May 2006) in Marathon Florida with Alto Reeds Allstar Band was a huge success and has resulted in more exciting shows including an appearance with Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer Dave Mason, with many more in the works.
