Steven Seagal Concert In Budapest, 27 June
- 26 Jun 2014 12:55 PM
"Apart from his acting Steven supports many charities, is friends with many world leaders and is also famous for being a real live deputy in the "Joe" Arpaio ( the six-time elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona) “posse” helping protect the United States borders.
However what is sometime forgotten is that Steven has been an accomplished musician for many years now, in fact you might be surprised to discover that Steven has actually been a musician a lot longer that an actor, he actually got his first guitar at the age of 12 and has been playing the Blues ever since.
Steven has honed his craft over the years sharing his love for the blues and jamming with the most prolific blues legends in the industry. BB King, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker and his greatest influence, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown.
But it was not until Steven’s mother influenced him to “let the world hear his music”, that he released his first album, Songs from the Crystal Cave, which was a top seller in European markets and features a combination of styles including Blues, pop, Jazz and Reggae, with a classic harmonica solo by Mr. Stevie Wonder.
Steven is a purist when it comes to the blues and he remains true to its roots which is evident in his 2007 follow up release ”Mojo Priest”, which celebrates the power of many of the musical influences that have compelled Steven to write and bring the art of storytelling to his songs.
Critically acclaimed as one of the best blues albums released of that year, “Mojo Priest” captured the essence of not only Steven’s smooth yet gritty guitar style, but also the essence of Blues greats such as Muddy Waters, BB King, Bo Diddley, Robert Lockwood Jr, Ko Ko Taylor, James Cotton, Willie “Pine Top” Perkins and Hubert Sumlin.
Steven is an accomplished guitar player and his style of classic and modern blues is personified in a way that only Steven Seagal can accomplish.
Steven feels it is important to keep the history and spirit of Blues music alive and has one of the most comprehensive and historical collection of Blues guitars in the world."
