Hey there fellow songwriters!
We have a really cool event on June 20-22nd centered around the main stage in the Curb Records parking lot on Music Row. This is the 6th year for the Festival and everyone, all genres, are welcome to perform and hang out. There are excellent seminars with Nashville pros involved in all facets of the music industry.
There’s no fee, but donations are encouraged to help fund the fest.
I’m a volunteer and will be there on Friday and Sunday, helping with the seminars and anything that needs done.
Check out www.songwritersfestival.com for information about registration, performances, who’s already in, the seminar topics and schedule.
Over 350 songwriters performed among the 4 stages last year. This is a great opportunity for those who can make it.

Filed under: General — Steve @ 2:39 pm

Thanks to the DJ’s who are playing my songs.  Here’s the feedback from Volume 88 of “Prime Cuts of Bluegrass” cut “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow”.

Prime  Cuts  of  Bluegrass  

DJ  COMMENTS  

 

 

HERE  TODAY,  GONE  TOMORROW  

 

 

􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹  􀁹

Good  instrumentation  with  some  help  of  the  best  in  the  business.   Nice  songwriter  work.   Would  like  to  see  and  hear  the  band  live.   Ted  Clark,  JRR  International  Shortwave  

Pretty  good.   Gene  Roberts,  KDHX  

Good  message.   Larry  Brooks,  Florida  Public  Radio  

If  the  rest  of  the  CD  is  of  this  high  standard,  I  want  it!   Uplifting  and  thoughtful  song.    Bob  Waaland,  WLFC  

Like  this.   Send  CD.   Carroll  Parham,  KCLW/KEQX  

Keep  up  the  good  work!   Send  CD!   Ed  Stiner,  WJFC  

Strong  sound.   Lyrics  to  live  by!   Al  Shusterman,  KCBL  

Kind  of  superficial  approach  to  a  deep  subject.   I’ll  bet  others  will  have  a  different  reaction  to  this  one.   Good  effort,  folks.   Dave  Rousseau,  KKUS/KFRO/KCUL  

Very  good  track.   Rein  Wortelboer,  Radio  Venray  

It’s  so  true.   Here  today,  gone  tomorrow.   Jaap  C.  de  Geus,  Origineel  FM  

Average.   Bruce  &  Maureen  Livingstone,  Bluegrass  Highway  

How  true.  Very  good  track.   Wayne  Nault,  WYKX  

Good  job  on  this  ole  tune!!!   Tony  Burke,  WMMT

Pretty  good.   Little  short  sounding  on  vocals?   Jim  Ganoe,  Gospel  Gem  Radio  Spotlight  

Fine  song.   I  always  have  a  place  for  songs  like  this  on  Sunday  nights.   Paul  Morris,  WXKQ/WTCW  

I  like  the  cut.   An  oldie  for  today’s  music.   Good  job!   Dallas  Hoskins,  WMKZ  

Really  like  this  song.   Well  balanced.   Will  play  extensively.    Thomas  Taylor,  WorldWideBluegrass.com  

Good!   Tom  Reeder,  WAMU  

Another  instance  where  a  stronger  lead  vocal  and  more  thoughtful  arrangement  would  have  helped  an  otherwise  good  song.   Ray  Hicks,  KTTR  

Good  message!   We’ll  play  it!   Mark  Lefler,  WYXI  

This  is  a  good  cut.   Has  good  instrumentation  and  a  lot  of  good  banjo  work.   Jim  Taylor,  WNOI  

These  folks  are  delightful.   Steve  Pritchard,  CKLN  

A  little  too  overdone  as  a  theme  through  the  years.   Carl  Solander,  WTIP/WRNC  

Great  song.   Great  vocals  and  awesome  pickers.   Charlie  Hall,  WorldWideBluegrass.com  

Like  this  group.   Bill  Reno,  WMMT  

Steve  Stern  &  The  New  Anthem  Band  pose  the  question    do  you  have  the  answer.   A  thought  provoking  tune.   Maurice  Kurtz,  Valley  FM/  QBN  FM

Good  song.   Terry  E.  Wood,  WTWZ  

Very  timeless  message  in  the  lyrics.   Good  song.   Bob  Rogers,  WIXE  

Good  response  from  listeners.   Would  like  more  material.   Verlin  Sanders,  WMMT/WNVA  

Very  good  bluegrass  song.   Dominique  Lemarechal,  Radio  RCF  Rivages  

How  true!   Wilson  Moore,  CHMA  

Fine.   Classy  singing  and  music.   Graham  Hassall,  Radio  Nightingale  

Vocalist  has  a  pleasant  voice  that  tends  to  talk  the  lyrics  rather  than  sing  them.   Instrumentation  is  just  right  for  this  song.   Wayne  Bledsoe,  KUMR  

Tempo  increases  toward  end.   Mix  between  vocals  and  instruments  is  mismatched  in  opening.   Lyrics  are  forced  in  places.   Pete  Stover,  WWED/WWEM

Great  tune,  well  performed!   This  is  the  first  of  I’ve  heard  from  Steve  Stern,  or  this  group.   I  look  forward  to  hearing  more!   Joe  Steiner,  WLFC  

New  song,  one  heck  of  a  lineup  of  musicians.  Nice  duet  between  Steve  &  Lisa.   Joe  Wills,  WBZC  

The  allstar  band  does  a  great  job!   Steve  Stern  sings  with  a  nice  warm  voice.   And  I  like  his  rough  phrasing.   Mario  Wildner,  Radio  Dresden  

I’d  sure  like  to  hear  the  full  CD  from  this  band;  they’ve  got  something  about  their  sound  that  appeals  to  me.   Please  send  the  full  project  to  WYSO.   Joe  Colvin,  WYSO  

Steve,  I  like  this  song!   I’ll  be  contacting  you  to  get  a  CD  and  schedule  an  interview  on  our  North  Carolina  stations.   Mike  Moore,  WLOE/WMYN  

Liked  it  alot!   Great  job!   Gracie  Muldoon,  WorldWideBluegrass.com

I  liked  this  track.   My  email  to  Mr.  Stern  requesting  a  copy  for  airplay  was  intercepted  by  Comcast  as  spam  so  I  may  never  get  to  hear  the  rest  of  his  project.   Frank  Hoppe,  KCSN  

A  positive  message  on  life.   Well  delivered.   Bill  Knowlton,  WCNY/WUNY/WJNY

Bluegrass Unlimited Review - August 2007 edition

Filed under: General — Steve @ 6:18 pm

I got this review today and am pleased to share it with you:

Steve Stern is a Nashville-based singer and guitarist who has opened for many legendary musicians ranging from Merle Haggard to John Hartford.  His latest project features 11 original tunes that straddle the line between bluegrass and country music.  He is supported by such pickers are Charlie Cushman (banjo) and Ronnie McCoury (mandolin), with some tracks featuring drums and pedal steel guitar.  No matter how you categorize it, the music of Steve Stern oozes with excitement and “Steam Powered Stern” contains something that will please just about any musical palate.

Thanks to Bluegrass Unlimited and to reviewer Les McIntyre for including this in their fine magazine.

“Here Today, Gone Tomorrow” on Vol. 88 of “Prime Cuts of Bluegrass”

Filed under: General — Steve @ 6:03 am

Volume 88 of the “Prime Cuts of Bluegrass” compilation CD for radio DJ’s and industry professionals hit the streets on July 15th.  I’ve already had several contacts from DJ’s saying they like the song and want a copy of “Steam Powered Stern” for review.

I’ve listened to the songs on this edition of Prime Cuts and there are 15 other very strong songs on there.

Thanks to the folks at Prme Cuts for including “Here Today, Gone Tomorrow” in Volume 88!
