SUMMARY:Steve Poltz - Nova Scotia Homecoming Tour
DESCRIPTION:It might’ve even been last night\, but Steve Poltz just played the greatest show of his life. Guess what?  \nThe next show will be even greater\, making that show the greatest show of his life.  \nAre you starting to notice a trend?  \nHe isn’t shy about it either.  \nEven after most likely thousands of shows (but who’s counting?)\, he hits the stage with the same amount of energy and always makes sure to declare\, “This is the greatest show of my life.”  \nIt’s why he’s quietly emerged as the kind of live phenomenon celebrated passionately by a diehard fanbase worldwide and renowned as a festival favorite everywhere from Bluesfest in Byron Bay and High Sierra Music Festival in California and Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado to Cayamo Cruise (where he actually got married). It’s why his music has crept into pop culture via collaborations with everyone from Jewel and Billy Strings to Molly Tuttle\, Sierra Hull\, Nicki Bluhm\, Oliver Wood\, and even the late Mojo Nixon. It’s why after over a dozen albums\, he’s still creatively firing on all cylinders and critically acclaimed by the likes of Rolling Stone\, Associated Press\, Billboard\, and many more.  \nNevertheless\, the next gig will be the greatest show for him (and maybe for you too)… \n“I started doing it years ago\, because I feel grateful to still be alive\,” he notes. ”Even today\, I still do it\, and I believe my own bullshit. I convinced myself that every show is the greatest show I’ve ever played. They’re all different\, and it depends on my mood each day\, but I know I’m there to entertain people. It always cracks me up when I stumble into some sort of weird thing that’s handed to me like a gift from the freaky deadly heavens above.” \nSteve might as well be “a gift from the freaky deadly heavens above” himself. He was born in Nova Scotia—Halifax\, to be exact. Somewhere along the way\, he began his relationship with the guitar at six-years-old. “We’re joined at the hip and lip and it’s always near my grip\,” he affirms. He grew up in Los Angeles and Palm Springs (where he “met Elvis and Liberace”) and settled in San Diego (where he cut his teeth “under the tutelage of The Beat Farmers”).  \nHe kicked off his musical journey in San Diego-bred underground favorites The Rugburns. However\, the world got to know Steve when co-wrote two tracks from Jewel’s diamond-certified debut Pieces Of You\, including the multi platinum Billboard Hot 100 #2 “You Were Meant For Me” (he’s also in the video). He delivered his own full-length debut One Left Shoe in 1998 and paved the way for an extensive solo catalog defined by what he calls “evocative lyrics mixed with positivity and traces of tragicomedy.”  \nIf you so choose\, you can trace his evolution from “Everything About You” (which popped up in Notting Hill) to the staple “Can O’ Pop”— christened “a fizzy delight” by Rolling Stone. The latter graced his 2022 album\, Stardust & Satellites. Co-produced and created with The Wood Brothers\, it garnered widespread acclaim. HOLLER. hailed it as “a wonderfully energized\, often joyful and wryly provocative release from the charismatic Steve Poltz\,” while No Depression dubbed it “poignant and ultimately uplifting.” Glide Magazine applauded how\, “He takes chances like few others and seems to be increasingly more unconventional as he embraces Americana.” \nSimultaneously\, a myriad of artists continue to seek him out as a collaborator in the studio. Whether it be “Leaders” with Billy Strings or “Million Miles” with Molly Tuttle\, he’s got dozens of cuts with various friends under his belt. He contributed two tunes to Deer Tick’s Emotional Contracts with frontman John J. McCauley going on to profess to Brooklyn Vegan\, “Steve Poltz may be the biggest\, most direct inspiration for me on this record.” \nSteve adds\, “Usually when these folks and many others come over to my house in Nashville we end up with something I love. I try not to overthink it. There are no rules. It’s kind of like fishing. You don’t catch anything if you don’t throw your rod in the water. So I guess I just try to be available for inspiration\, mixed with perspiration and exasperation.” \nSpeaking of perspiration\, he regularly travels far and wide to audiences of all ages and all continents most every day.  \n“I travel from town to town and fool people\,” he grins. “I sing them songs and tell them stories and somehow they decide to pay money to obtain some merch and witness the spectacle. Then I return a year later and fool them again.” \nIn the end\, Steve is probably gearing up for the greatest show of his life as you read this.  \nThankfully\, that will never change. \nHe signs off\, “I’m just a weirdo\, a freak\, a bon vivant\, a rounder\, a rabble rouser\, a workaholic\, a people pleaser\, an idiot and a grateful kid who ran away and joined the circus.”  \nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify \n  \nOpen in Spotify \n
