Such a gem of a human being! I never miss him any time he's in town.

[@gomissmo]

Me toooooo! He's so awesome live!

Steve invited me to one of his performances once, he’s such an underrated performer. After that I listen to his music all the time on the way to university. Hit me up Steve next time you’re performing in Newcastle.

My friends and I would go to a local San Diego bar called Blarney Stone on Saturday nights and have an absolute blast watching Steve and The Rugburns and various pals play music until the bar closed. Gregory Page, Robert Driscoll, so much good times. And Jewel of course. You couldn’t throw a stick without hitting a coffee shop without her playing and singing in it.

Stained glass art 3:34; oh man, that's a euphemism you don't hear every day :)

You only get to wear your hat backwards If your name is Robert Zimmerman
