Steve Starke is a singer and songwriter from Auckland, New Zealand.

His music sits on an edge between Simple Rock, Blues and Heavy Rock, often with an influence of diverse time signatures, and a lot of melodic spread, with the odd rather boutique nod to jazz.

“I have certainly not been content to sit on my laurels, and still work hard at learning and improving my guitar vocals and musicality.”

Steve is an eclectic mix of old and new music, with a bent to fairly quick and wide steps melodic progressions – with a fondness for guitar solos sitting under or around the vocal mix as a song develops. 

“I love the work on Glenn Hughes latest album Resonate – along with the Supergroup Black Country Communion. And I am still heartbroken by Chris Cornell and his last album Higher Truth.”
