About Me

Steve DeLong is currently playing solo acoustic acts in Nashua, NH. He has been playing music since he was a child and playing sporadically here and there with many different bands over the years. He has been writing many songs lately with the help of Bruce Dovidio from the Songpull in Manchester, NH.
"I've been playing music since I was a child as my grandfather instilled it in all of his children and grandchildren to try and play an instrument as he enjoyed it the most! I now hope to get some of the songs I've written over the years recorded or at least rough demos. So many things are happening in this world and have happened over my life. Hopefully by creating and sharing music, it will set me at peace. Enjoy! I'll be posting more music soon."
You can also see the original songs he has performed at the SongPulls in Manchester, NH or check out a local show at the 603 Lounge in Nashua.Akustik Kid - Fade Away
