Multi-instrumentalists are fascinating to watch, I can’t play anything myself, but I think that watching the skill that it takes for the musicians to swap between guitar, piano, bass, and many more is astounding, and seeing Delicate Steve do this live was simply incredible. His progressive rock style of music is intertwined with folk, and African rhythm, as well as mainstream pop styles, giving him a really organic and original sound.
He played the show in a really intimate venue with a small band, who were mastering instruments from synths to maracas, and the environment was incredibly exciting to be in. He played a really great variety of tracks from a selection of his albums. He opened the show with a lesser known track from his debut album, Sugar Splash, but everyone there seemed familiar with it, and we were all singing along.
Steve played a few covers as well as his original tracks, and got us up on our feet dancing when he played through some of his collaborations he’d worked on with Ra Ra Riot. It was an incredible show and his energy and conviction, as well as talent were sky high throughout the show.
