Steve Pilgrim + John Rush + Graham Hanlon
Steve Pilgrim is an artist and musician with over 15 years global touring experience. Starting out as a drummer with Liverpool 'Bandwagon' band The Stands (alongside bands like The Coral and The Zutons) and then with John Power and Cast, before joining Paul Wellers band in 2008.
As a solo artist and singer-songwriter he’s produced five studio albums, receiving the praise of fellow musicians and critics alike. The material sits proudly in the song-writing idiom of the acoustic folk/pop artists of the 60s while exploring the challenges of living and loving in the 21st century. Steve’s songs are simultaneously celebratory and melancholy, intimate and honest, bringing into focus the struggles we all face and the humility that unites us.
“Steve Pilgrim is the music industry’s best kept secret. He’s an exceptional songwriter” Dylan Jones – GQ Magazine
“One of the great understated modern songsmiths. I love Pilgrims voice, his lyrics, his sense of melody. I hope people get to hear his music, it’s really something special” Paul Weller
“A soulful ache of a voice and a brave wide-open lyrical stance…” Rob Fitzpatrick - Word Magazine
