Steve Waitt - Stranger in a Stranger Land (2016)

Steve Waitt is a celebrated New York City musician. An expert piano player with striking song writing ability, Waitt manages to walk the fine and exhilarating line between dynamic rock and ethereal storytelling, each song complete with tension, climax and resolution. Waitt’s gorgeous and gritty vocals swell along with the tempo to create in each song a clear and resonating audio aesthetic that leaves the listener completely satisfied.
