Joined in the studio by singer/songwriter and man with the soulful voice, Steve Brookstein.
Great chatting with Steve about his album FORGOTTEN MAN and his fantastic book, GETTING OVER THE X plus Twitter, the Press, Steve’s outlook on life, new music ventures, acting and more.
Whatever you may have read about Steve in the press, take time to listen to this interview because I met a truly genuine, funny, music loving artist and you can hear that in everything Steve says – passionate about music and only interested in making music.
We played out tracks from his album FORGOTTEN MAN along with Steve’s personal picks from other artists. We got to hear a track from his talented wife, Eileen Hunter, with the title track from her album I MISS THE SKY.
