Define your genre in five words or less:
Soul/blues/adult contemporary.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
All of them. Last man (or chick) standing. It’s all mine! But seriously, I find I am either inspired by an artist or I am just indifferent. Assassination would mean they really bothered me and not much bothers me.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?
Biting off more than I can chew and making a success of it.
And what makes you unhappiest about what you’re doing?
Biting off more than I can chew and choking!
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
I recorded most of my electric guitar tracks for my last album under my donna, in the walk in closet at home.
When, and why did you start writing music?
A covers band I was in decided to turn original. I starting writing in self-defence against some sloppy mush the guys were churning out.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Because we are not like anyone else. On top of what you’d expect, we also have horns and Hammond. Genuine soul/blues exponents are few in number in this country and this endangered species would love your support. This will be a class event. You get to sit down and be comfortable, or get up and dance if you are so inclined. We are a theatre/concert act that would be thrilled to see the genuine music fans come along for a great night of fun and top flight entertainment.
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday March 23 at the Famous Spiegeltent Docklands, doors open at 7pm. And we have the whole show to ourselves. We are the Stevie Paige Band and we’d like to invite you to this special event.
