The band is me - for right now.‘He’s a little bit country and a little bit rock ‘n roll.’ All right, enough of that! As soon as I learned a couple of chords I started writing songs - some with a message, some that are silly and some with a silly message. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to perform at Nashville's Bluebird Café at their songwriter's night on two occasions. I write what I feel, and as the old joke goes - sometimes I don't feel too good. Or as I've heard that Townes Van Zandt said once when asked if he knew any happy songs - "These are happy songs."

Long Grass And The Tall Trees Here Now!!!....

The review in Creative Loafing:
Steve Vaclavik folks in the Long Grass
Intriguing tales on Tampa singer's new CD.
By Wade Tatangelo
Long Grass and the Tall Trees
STEVE VACLAVIK
Following his gruff, antiwar Internet hit "I've Lost All Faith," which reached No. 11 out of 2,570 selections on Neil Young's "Living with War: Songs of the Times" website, Tampa folkie Steve Vaclavik releases Long Grass and the Tall Trees. The eight-song batch of originals, recorded at Pro Star Recording in St. Pete, features Vaclavik mostly alone with his acoustic guitar (there's understated percussion interspersed), strumming familiar chords and singing intriguing tales like the murder report "Run Mary." The only misstep is the track "Bob Dylan," an imagined meeting with the rock poet, which, at this point, is about as relevant as a "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" cover. 3 stars

These folks can make some music!!!

Influences: Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Son Volt, Wilco and many more. I like all styles of music, but I especially like artists with a message.

Sounds Like: Let's put it this way...I'll never be an American Idol. But I see that as a good thing. I think I would be in good company because I don't think people like Lennon, Dylan, Petty or Hendrix would have been either. I've been told I sound like a mix between Dylan and Petty and some folks have said I sound like Clapton. (As a singer, not as a player unfortunately. But I'll take what I can get.) I've also been compared to an old beat up, comfortable, sofa. (That would take way too long to explain - but hopefully you get the idea.)
