On this episode we talk about the making of his record “The Concrete Jangle," how he coaxed Andy Partridge into writing with him, and how we each have six degrees of separation with the Beatles. https://stevecontemusic.com/

------------------------
New York native Steve Conte, has been a force in the music industry since his band Company Of Wolves debuted on Mercury Records in 1990. He's sidestepped the mainstream by collaborating with iconic acts like New York Dolls, Willy DeVille, Robert Gordon and Michael Monroe, showcasing his exceptional guitar skills, vocals, and songwriting on albums and tours.

Signed with Little Steven Van Zandt’s label, Wicked Cool Records, Steve's solo work has been heavily featured on The Underground Garage radio program and on numerous indie stations worldwide.

His 2024 album, "The Concrete Jangle" boasts collaborations with his songwriting hero, Andy Partridge of XTC, with a groove by drummer Prairie Prince of The Tubes, Todd Rundgren & XTC.

Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, Steve's sound melds Rock 'n Roll, American Soul, Brit-Pop, and Punk. He draws inspiration from diverse icons like David Bowie, Prince and The Beatles, believing in breaking the mold with each record.

Growing up in a musical family (his mother, a professional jazz singer) Steve supported himself through music school by painting houses - and hasn’t worked at anything but music ever since.

His versatile musicianship led him to collaborate with legends such as Chuck Berry, Paul Simon, and Eric Burdon, and he's notably contributed to soundtracks for anime series like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost In The Shell, and video games like Sonic and Yakuza.

Steve has toured the USA and Europe extensively and has a brand new band ready to hit the road in 2025!
