TVD Live Tease:
Delicate Steve at
Rock and Roll Hotel, 4/21

If you dislike “The Ballad of Speck and Pebble,” you are made of hate. It is upbeat, easy, and wholly likeable. It will not invade your thoughts, it will not change your mind, but it will boost your mood. This song reminds me that I can’t whistle, so I am stuck rocking my hips in my chair at my work desk, bobbing my head as I file another document in the drawer, and tomorrow, at the Rock and Roll Hotel, I will hide in the crowd and act as if I’m whistling.

A young talented instrumentalist named Steve Marion is Delicate Steve, the creator of many imaginative pop-guitar-driven tracks on this year’s release Wondervisions via Luaka Bop. I am unsure of the total instrument count on this record, but I am pretty sure that DC is the 43rd show on a tour that began February 9, 2011… I am impressed and afraid.

Delicate Steve has been featured on NPR and plays Rock and Roll Hotel tomorrow night with Maps and Atlases and Gypsyblood.
