About Me

Stephen Hill is a purveyor of quirky, understated folk-pop. Built on an Irish urban landscape the songs express the vagaries of life as important sign-posts for our existential journey. Things are never as simple as they seem and the songs are filled with twists and unexpected lyrical turns. Melodies and arrangements are understated and keep the emotive stories centre-stage.
Stephen completed his debut album "Public Transport" in 2006. He is currently working on new songs with the aim of a 2008 release date.
