This guy must really be something live because his records are wild affairs. A one man band led by his shredder side, the Canadian award winning electric white boy with the blues must have traded his soul for something at the other end of Highway 61 to play so possessed. No matter what he’s doing here, he makes it all his own and makes it unique.

Steve Hill volume 3 cd launch party at the Verre Bouteille in Montréal Québec.
A blues style all his own: Steve Hill loves it Solo
He’s been called the meanest guitar player in North America for his ferocious one-man show. But Montreal’s electro-rock blues prince Steve Hill, who has been playing guitar professionally since age 18, is the nicest guy you could chat with by phone.

Solo Recordings Vol. 3 Review on Keys and Chords
Montreal Blues Society – Steve Hill launches Solo Recordings: Volume 3
May 2011. Steve Hill’s guitar “pusher” offered to sell him a guitar: a Gibson ES225. He wanted it but he didn’t have the money for it, so they worked out a trade. A solo show in Drummondville in exchange for the guitar. It was three weeks before the release of his sixth album, Whiplash Love, but he felt he had bottomed out professionally, because though he knew it was a good album, the record label wasn’t getting behind it. The album wasn’t going to go anywhere. There were no gigs booked.
Blues sensation Steve Hill finds his true voice
Steve Hill is a guitar virtuoso and one of the top stars on the Canadian blues scene. What makes him unique is his ability to simultaneously sing and play guitar, bass and drums. He is an exceptionally skilled, raw and gritty blues incarnation of the one-man band.
Five Questions with… Steve Hill
As the old adage goes, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Quebec blues-rock artist Steve Hill has seen the benefits of sticking to that notion by building a fierce reputation as a one-man band, even in an age when two-piece combos are more popular than ever.
After following a 20-year path that led to this approach, Hill was rewarded in 2015 when his Solo Recordings Volume 2 earned a Juno for Blues Album of the Year. He’s now about to unleash Solo Recordings Volume 3, which mixes high-powered original rockers and introspective acoustic tracks with a few choice blues standard re-toolings.
