With a playful simplicity, and a fresh approach to contemporary folk music, Steven Walters invokes the most tender feeling level of the heart, moving you deeply --- to joy and laughter one moment, unabashed tears the next. With deftly woven lyrics and masterful guitar work, his songs are offerings of humor, spirit and sweetness -- serious music for the lighthearted soul.

Since age seven, Steven has made a life's work of writing and performing original music. For twenty years he enjoyed a career on the road as a professional guitarist and vocalist in blues and country music bands. In 1993, after being diagnosed with leukemia and told he had 24 hours to live, Steven began a period of intensive meditation. Miraculously, he became strong enough to receive a bone marrow transplant and make a full recovery. Inspired by this second chance, in 1995 Steven began to truly live his dream, giving up the smoky bars and club circuit to perform his original music.

Steven performs and speaks at diverse venues including concert halls, conferences, new thought churches, folk clubs and intimate house concerts from coast to coast. Events at which he has been invited to share his gifts include: workshops at the Esalen Institute; benefit concerts for the Gangaji Foundation (also featured in Gangaji's video, River of Freedom), Ram Dass, and others; the Inside Edge; and The International New Thought Alliance Conference. He has two independent releases available on compact disc, So Many Blessings and Just This Moment.

 Audience Comments and Reviews

“Steven has a way with words... mellow insightful songs from the spiritual journey." — Jewels Marshon

On So Many Blessings…
“This CD is an all purpose listening CD. It speaks to my heart & soul in a beautiful, intimate, gentle yet attention getting way.  I've listened to it when I've been happy, sad & grieving, when I felt alone, or whole & full of life. When I needed to hear words of comfort, direction, solice & support. Also, when I've needed to sing (Steven is the EASIEST songwriter to sing along with!) or chuckle, or just relax & BE! There are times when I can't listen to anything else because of overwhelm, yet I can always listen to this CD no matter what my mood or energy, with it's calming, inspiring & uplifting sound!  It is especially GREAT to listen to in the mornings, a flow of musical prayers, meditation & Spiritual reminders for the life in your day...You'll be glad you listened & blessed in so many ways!” — MJoy Silva
