Biography
To quote a friend, Stevie Mac is a man with 'fingers in a lot of pies'. In addition to playing bass with bluesrock troublemakers The Hellfire Club, presenting the remix show on local student radio, and dabbling in ambient electronica under the pseudonym Blaster, Steve has been penning personal tales of woe and lament on his battered acoustic guitar since he first made his way into the Big Smoke (that's Belfast to you).
Influenced by a wide range of artists, but always striving to imbue his songs with the same unmistakable raw honesty of people like Bruce Springsteen, Josh Ritter, Jason Pierce, Dave Gahan and others, Steve has been quietly coaxing empathetic responses from listeners in Belfast's live venues for a couple of years now, played the Oxjam festival and supported many artists of the Irish music scene (such as Cathy Davey).
The tracks here are from Scraps, Steve's just-released debut EP.
