About Steve Plein

Over the years, Plein has earned listeners and fans in small venues across the south from listening rooms, to coffee houses, taverns, brewers, campgrounds and wineries. His Live shows flow between high-caliber original songs brimming with roots-based influence to handpicked covers that mesh well with his own unique sound.

His sense of melody and timing that can be found within his own songwriting feels the pulse of the listener and is capable of tempo adjustment as needed. The success of his live shows and attention demanding performances come from hard-won perfection of craft and his ability to connect with strangers is an attribute that seemingly comes with ease.

At the heart of it, Steve Plein is a storyteller with a songwriter’s soul—chasing truth and never losing sight of the power of connecting with strangers. His songs are filled with snapshots of people we all know and stories that seem as if they were written just for us.

Steve Plein ties together unique storytelling and crafted melody that seamlessly weave together a voice of unfiltered truth which is a product of careful observance of modern relationships and mankind’s triumphs and shortcomings.

Hailing from Florida’s Gulf Coast Steve draws his musical inspiration and creative breathings from the natural world. His sound is reminiscent of times gone by, bringing his listeners along for a ride into the reaches of yesteryear. As the world around us continues to accelerate showing no imminent relent, Steve pulls from within and relocates for us all a sound that is fleeting like a spring tide.

After captaining for a living and having his life disrupted by a major hurricane, Plein was forced to pick up the pieces. Through misfortune and heartache new opportunities emerged and the stories that live within his soul began to come to the surface. He now travels the country and shares his songs with listeners yearning for a slowdown and a step back in time, even if only for a few hours.

"There has never been a choice. Songwriting has always been something that comes back to me, even when it has taken a back seat to other necessities. It is simply something that nor myself or other serious writers have any say in. It summons us from our sleep and puts the pen in our hands, no matter the hour." - Steve Plein
