His unique vocal delivery simultaneously fascinates and polarizes - neutrality is not an option. Steve Strauss with his laid-back style of guitar playing (a quality further developed by fellow Stockfisch musicians like Chris Jones) is none other than - a poet. You can feel this when he sings of the golden era of youth spent in the shadow of the Argyle Bridge when war was only real “in far-off countries”. You can feel this when in “Angel” - in the beginning meant to be a comment on life in New York, which after September 11th reached an even deeper level of meaning - he sings of emptiness, loneliness, homelessness.

The Return of the Songwriter-Hero: No need for a clock or a calendar; Steve Strauss ticks in much more expansive dimensions. Roughly 10 years after his success with “Just Like Love” the singer & composer now presents his new album: “Sea of Dreams”.
