Search - Steve Vansak :: "A Different Road"

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Steve Vansak was born and raised in Gary, Indiana, home of steel mills and the Jackson 5. Sandwiched between Chicago and miles of farmland, Vansak experienced many different lifestyles and musical styles. A veteran of the Midwest music scene, his bands have run the gamut from R&B, folk, pop, and rock. All of these influences and more affect his latest release "A Different Road". The ten track CD features the rock sounds of "Rocks and Bone" and "Mountain of Pain", as well as the street soul of "Peace with the Night". Vansak is backed by the Joe Roberts Band (Bill Hayden - piano & organ, Mike Sluga - drums, Aaron Yakovetz - bass), who shine on the stylistically diverse collection of songs. The disc is housed in an handsome digipak with an 8 page booklet. All the better to take in the "real world" lyrics from each tune. If you enjoy Tom Petty, U2, Train, Bruce Springsteen, David Gray, then give this CD a try!
