So, I decided to take a small detour but this detour is also highly important to the music. Some artist often need edged or assisted in the song writing process, for some Jeff Scott Stevens becomes that assistant. He has been getting acclaim for the vivid imagery his songs produce in his listener.
When I first discovered his song writing talent it came in the form of his song Daddy Don't Go. Stevens said that he envisioned the song being sung by either Martina McBride or Carrie Underwood. Stevens often envisions the vocalist as he progressively seeks the right combination of words and lyrical hooks. His song Daddy Don't Go came to Stevens from a familiar place: news stories. He had watched the news, read articles, and amerced himself in the stories of friends and family about young children missing there parents due to them fighting in the war. He took the stance in the song by looking on the outside in and wrote a heartfelt tune that stands ode to those individuals who must wait for their heroes to come home.
He then exposed his festive anthem Campfire song...a summertime anthem that despite its inability to be released the summer of 2011 it will definitely be an anthem for everyone in 2012. It is definitely a stark contrast to the seriousness of Daddy Don't Go but exhibits that Stevens has the ability to make you want to party or go grab a tissue.
Stevens says his start to exposing his music to social media started out slow on Myspace but once he found twitter the exponential growth of his singles being heard by fans. He enjoys Twitter a lot and is so grateful for the support that has come from the social media age of music. He also if you do not follow him would like you to know that you can find him as @jeffsstevens.
Other than writing music Jeff Scott Stevens enjoys playing with music software and technologies, he loves hanging out with friends and is a reality TV junkie. This probably helps describe his since of variations in who he dreams to collaborate with especially classic rock artist from the 60's-90s but his modern dream collaborations contain Reba, Blake, Lady Antebellum and so many more. He would be honored to submit his songs to anyone who could put the rich tone to his message.
Knowing that Stevens's songs often follow the storyteller ideology of country music, I asked him why he feels people listen to country music and he mentioned that "the vocalist and songwriters often collaborate what we as humans cannot or are to afraid to say, that and country music can be full of love songs, but also have the fun upbeat party songs."
I also asked if there were anything he wanted me to let you guys know and he wanted to tells his fans that they are extremely important to him and that he is grateful for all the support. To the new fans who check him out he wants you to know that along with Twitter he also has a facebook and you can find him at www.facebook.com/jeffsstevens and that all his music is downloadable at itunes.
If there wasn't songwriters there would be some song birds who would be song less and sometimes the song birds need a helping hand. It is people like Jeff Scott Stevens that know the best lines, hooks, and melodies that will have any music lover laughing, crying, or cracking it up. So, even if he doesn't sing the great tunes, check him out, you will be impressed.
