Stevewarnerfolk
With a musical heritage of playing bass guitar in 90’s rock bands, Steve discovered folk music later in life by stumbling into a folk session at his local pub (Kimpton), he felt immediately at home with this community. The storytelling song writing and the energy and passion of fellow musicians playing together was something that lit a spark within him that has never gone out..
Doing the hard yards of folk sessions, floor spots, open mics, support slots, busking, pub gigs, coffee shops, wine bars and playing on London underground, Steve slowly developed his song writing skills and learned 'his craft' of how to play in front of crowd.
