About the Artist
Steve Rivers Biography:
Steve Rivers is a young recording artist & songwriter who is turning heads
in the country music scene! Steve’s new album ‘Temptations’ is establishing him
as one of the most exciting new artists in country music today. If there is one
thing that country music needs more of right now is the attitude that is driving
Steve Rivers and the approach behind every song on his album. He wants
listeners to feel every song and to leave every concert wanting more!
Steve Rivers performs regularly between Nashville and Canada and his live
show is one of high energy and excitement. As a performer he gives his
audience 110% and as Steve says “My band and I try to make every part of our
show fun and audience engaging! I want my audience to feel like they’re apart of
the show as much as we are.”
His influences – country, rock, Americana, and blues – give Steve’s music a
fresh and exciting sound that country music fans are gravitating to! His new
sophomore album ‘Temptations’ is the result of those influences. Recorded in
Nashville and co-produced by Jimmy Dulin (I Pray For You – Jaron and the Long
Road to Love), the album features 10 songs about the temptations of love,
alcohol, and pushing the limits of being young & wild.
Steve, like many other Canadian artists before him, made the move to Nashville
TN where he writes with some of country music’s biggest hit-makers, performs,
and records. As a songwriter himself Steve Rivers has co-written & worked with
many of Nashville's top songwriters including Frank Myers (I Swear, Tomorrow,
My Front Porch Looking In), Danny Wells (Check Yes Or No, These Days), Stan
Webb (We're From the Country, One of These Days But Not Tonight, Drawn To
the Fire), Tim Taylor (Ten Million Tear Drops, My Way, One Smokey Rose), and
upcoming artists Donny Anderson, Heidi Raye, Aaron J Goodvin, Alyssa Bagley,
Jesse Slack, Dakota Jay, and Drew Gregory. Steve’s recent cuts include “You
Can Make It On Your Own” by US country artist Amanda Nagurney and “Girls
Get In Free” by Canadian-Ontario band Kerosene Creek.
Steve Rivers’ latest single “Mess It Up” is being played on over 30 radio stations
across Canada and parts of the USA. Be sure to request Steve Rivers on your
local country radio station, get a copy of his new record ‘Temptations’, and look
for Steve to be performing in a town near you!
