The Steepwater Band & Marc Ford
to Tour in Concert
~ with Dates in the Midwest and Spain
In late winter 2010, the Chicago-based trio hops over the pond for six-week European Tour - a first in the history of the band. It kicks off with a bang as Marc Ford joins The Steepwater Band on the Spanish leg of the tour. Marc’s work with the Black Crowes, Ben Harper, and Booker T has made him one of the most celebrated guitarists of his generation.
Recently, The Steepwater Band commissioned Ford to produce their latest release, Grace and Melody – which met with critical acclaim. The flow of mutual admiration and respect during that studio session created a bond between the musicians and talk of a collaborative tour was on the horizon. The ten-city tour begins in Bilbao and stretches across Spain’s beautiful landscape to Madrid, Gijon and Barcelona (just to name a few). Each show will feature a TSB set to get the evening rolling. After the opening sets, Ford will join the band. Together they will perform songs from his solo releases as well as songs from the Steepwater catalog. These evenings of music are bound to astonish and inspire fans.
For the folks in the United States who cannot make the Spain shows, you are in luck. The Steepwater Band & Marc Ford will be playing two Midwest shows to kick-off the tour before flying over to España. The House of Blues’ funky Back Porch Stage will be the site in TSB’s home town of Chicago on Saturday, February 20. Tickets for this show go on-sale December 11, at 10 a.m. via Live Nation. Grab your tickets now, as this show is bound to sell-out. On Sunday, February 21, TSB & Marc will travel north to Wisconsin for an intimate show at the fabulous Green Room in Sheboygan. Tickets for this show go on sale December 14 via the Green Room’s website.
After Steepwater & Ford rip through Spain, TSB continues on their own to debut in many cities across Europe. This month long trip will see them playing from London to Prague and many other historical places. *As of December 8, 2009 - some markets/venues are currently pending, be sure to check back to www.steepwater.com in the coming weeks for a full schedule.
Once The Steepwater Band returns from this epic tour, they begin work on their next chapter - stay tuned.

Read what folks are saying about "Grace and Melody"...
Everything about GRACE AND MELODY has the feel of natural born rockers determined to get everyone's rocks off. Producer Marc Ford does clean, endlessly effective work here, bringing his years of experience with The Black Crowes and others, allowing individual elements to shine – a groin throbbing bass run, the blue water purr of electric slide. This is the abounding whomp of a band that's always been very good, teetering on the edge of greatness. And by album's end I'd be surprised if you weren't rooting for them to topple all the way into full blown glory.
~ Dennis Cook | Jambase.com
Crackling with gritty energy and featuring strikingly direct lyrics, Grace And Melody demonstrates that Steepwater Band is a group with a considerable amount of depth and nuance…most notably the intriguing twin-guitar romp through the 13+ minute, "Waiting To Be Offended," which is vibrant yet clutter-free. Grace And Melody is certainly worth diving into.
~ Rob Turner | Hittin' The Note Magazine
Classic influences but no nostalgia...these guys are fresher than most of what gets passed off as 'new' these days. I've always been able to hear the goodness at the heart of The Steepwater Band. All the nuance of the recording, performance and songwriting can be found on Grace and Melody. They're in their finest form yet.
~ Richard Milne | WXRT Radio, Chicago
Returning to House of Blues,
opening for guitar legend JOE PERRY!
Dig it! Your TSB has just been added to the JOE PERRY PROJECT show, featuring the Aerosmith guitarist, at the House of Blues, November 18th in Chicago! Aerosmith cancelled its 2009 tour, leaving Perry with the extra downtime to spend in his home studio, and now on the stage. Performing with a looseness that highlights the Yardbirds influence in his playing, Mr. Perry's new album "Have Guitar, Will Travel" hit stores just a month ago. This show should not be missed, be there! All ages, Showtime 7pm.

Four Sweet Shows This Week!
This week starts off this Thursday (July 30) as the guys return to Chicago with a really Big Rock n' Roll Show at one of THEE coolest clubs around, MARTYRS'.

All the way from Washington, these boys bring the country-tinged-flavored-pop back, ala Badfinger & the Eagles. They are followed by your Steepwater Band, sometime around the Nine o'Clock hour. Then taking the stage last is Pennsylvania's Telepath, an all-instrumental band that combines world music with funky beats.
Then on Friday (July 31) TSB travels north to Milwaukee to the always packed and steamy Up & Under Pub. The show once again starts off with the rock stylings of The Lonely H. Followed by 2 Sets of TSB.
The House of Blues is the location on Saturday (August 1), with your TSB opening the show for rock legends The Arc Angels.

Hey folks,
We have all returned safely from our two week tour overseas. The 2009 Grace and Melody Spanish tour was our most successful yet; each night the venues were filled with fans dancing and singing-along. Although we did pay our dues: Jeff and I both caught the stomach flu mid-tour, after the show in Alicante. Luckily we regained enough energy to play to a crammed El Sol in Madrid the following night.
Every city we visited was beautiful and we met so many gracious people along the way. Gijon and Leon were both special nights, but the Barcelona at Apolo 2 was amazing, an absolute blast, with a near sell-out audience. Just a little hint, most of the show was filmed for Barcelona Television, and once we get our hands on it we'll share it with you!
A really BIG THANKS goes out to Edu and Vincent at Funhouse Productions for setting up the whole tour and taking care of & putting up with us for 2 weeks. We'd like to thank all the promoters who helped spread the word. We need to thank our friends who helped, hung-out, and kept us sane: John Stalder, Tim & Sherry Larew (Sherry suffered a broken ankle during the tour but kept on trucking with us!) and of course Turtle Sims.
And last but not least we need to thank all of our wonderful Spanish and Basque Country fans for their enthusiasm and support! We can't wait to go back!
Cheers.

G&M Reviewed in Vintage Guitar Magazine
UPDATE 1/9/08: Links fixed, sorry bout that folks. Our new album Grace and Melody received a great review in Vintage Guitar magzine:
It is easy to dig The Steepwater Band, and on this, their fourth studio record, the Chicago trio steps it up a notch with the help of producer Marc Ford, whose tenure with The Black Crowes produced some of the band's best music.
While it's usually difficult to define with a producer does, here Ford's input seems obvious. Guitarist Jeff Massey decorates the album with great playing throughout, starting with "At The Fall Of The Day," a stomping rocker with a great riff and sound. By the time Massey's half-wahed solo breaks out, the listener is very aware they're in for a treat...[read the whole review here]

Our new album Grace and Melody received a great review in Hittin' The Note, one of our favorite music magazines.
"Crackling with gritty energy and featuring strikingly direct lyrics, Grace and Melody demonstrates that Steepwater Band is a bluesed-based rock group with a considerable amount of depth and nuance. This may be due in part to the wizened oversight or producer Marc Ford; the veteran guitarist first met the band at a festival in Spain and now has guided them to an impressive and inspiring release. Ford even dons a guitar for a few tracks, most notably..." [read the whole review here]

"Everything about Grace And Melody (released November 26 on Diamond Day) has the feel of natural born rockers doggedly focused on making a solid musical impact, the broad, hearty stride of men determined to get everyone's rocks off. It takes an album like this to make one appreciate where dedication to the basics, tweaked ever so nicely, can be just as satisfying, if not more so, than endless innovation..."

G&M Reviewed in Illinois Entertainer
Review by Mike O'Cull, as appearing in the latest edition:
"Chicago's Steepwater Band has been playing a blend of blues, boogie, and psychedelia around the world since 1998, progressing from basic blues to an original sound that incorporates more songwriting and classic rock influences. Grace And Melody continues the evolution; produced by ex-Black Crowes guitarist and Grammy winner Marc Ford, the record has an updated '70s vibe and, although it has a strong blues influence, aspires to a rock audience. "Lord Knows" and "The Healer" stand out, but the whole album works if you ever wondered what the Faces might sound like in the 21st Century."
