Biography

Steve Madewell has been a working musician for more than fifty years.
He has performed throughout Ohio with destination shows in multiple states and other countries.

He also enjoyed a career in the public sector working for regional park systems where he supervised and directed a host of park operations including land acquisition and environmental education. He has worked on developing dozens of park facilities and has been involved with permanently protecting thousands of acres of open space. 

While still actively engaged with conservation organizations he concluded a remarkable career to focus on writing, recording, and performing music.

Steve’s songs have a deeply personal edge to them. He uses music as a tool to celebrate his appreciation of nature. His songs frequently feature a story set in a well-described landscape or place. This gives the listener a sense that they are visiting the setting through the music.
He has three solo albums, Rivers and Trails, Arrow Creek, and Hometown Blues. 

Hometown Blues was released in October 2021 and is being played on and in rotation of dozens of folk radio stations across the US, Canada, and the UK.
