Bio

Steve Deasy is a Pittsburgh born, Detroit based performing songwriter, producer and arranger. His songwriting has been recognized by the Kerrville Music To Life and Great Lakes Songwriting competitions. Steve is a socially conscious writer in the tradition of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger, but with the contemporary musicality of new folk, classic rock, pop, and jazz influences. Add some humorous Steve Goodman-style story songs and you have Steve Deasy:relevant, complex funny and talented.

Deasy’s songs cover a great range including earthy story songs that you might expect from a performer who cut his acoustic teeth touring East Coast local folk circuits, opening for such artists as Dave VanRonk, Josh White Jr. and Michael Peter Smith. The song “In the Court of Judge Martone,” is a modern-day folk ballad taken straight from the police blotter of small-town Michigan.
