Quick Update: Steve's song "How Does It Feel" has moved up to #38 on Neil Young's Living With War Today website.
November 16, 2006
From the man himself:
I wanted to let you know about a couple of interesting developments. My song "How Does It Feel" has been added to Neil Young's really cool website, Living With War Today. We just got added last week and have already moved up to #179, and considering there are nearly 900 songs, that's pretty good. If you get a chance, drop by and check out the song from Neil's website and see if it sounds any different. There are a lot of cool songs on there; I'm honored to be in such good company.
Also, we have posted 3 short film clips on MySpace of a show we did a couple of years ago in Alexandria, Louisiana. It looks pretty good. Check it out if you are so inclined.

Straight from the horse's mouth:
If you're happy with our country's leadership and the way things are going in the world, you may not want to listen to my new song, "How Does It Feel?" It might give you a headache.
However, if you're tired of the arrogance, lies, ineptitude and divisiveness that have brought us to this sad and dangerous place in history, please listen to the song, share it with your friends, and vote for progressive candidates on November 7th.
We can change the world. Now's the time to do it.

Those Yellow Beat guys have done it again! From the people who bring you Yellow Beat Music Radio out of Japan (on which Steve's music has been featured many a time) comes "Gone Fishing for Blue Skies," a project featuring an hour of online streaming music by independent artists. The shows are updated and exchanged every Sunday, but next week's program (August 20th to 26th) will include one of Steve's tunes amidst the show's other melodic offerings. Listening to the show requires the use of the QuickTime player. Once you have that, here's the link to the show.
Happy listening!

The musical stylings of Steve Conn have been featured in a recent short film written, produced, and edited by local filmmaker Molly Secours. The 13-minute documentary, entitled "The Faces of Tenncare: Putting a Human Face on Tennessee's Health Care Failure", combines Secours' talents with those of photojournalist Joon Powell. In addition to Steve's musical contribution, the film features the vocals and music of Maura O'Connell and John Prine, as well as narration by Minton Sparks. "The Faces of Tenncare" premieres at the Nashville Film Festival this week -- stay up-to-date with these and other screenings through Molly Secours' website. For more information, quotes, and a sneak preview, visit the film's website at facesoftenncare.com.

It's a new year, and you know what that means . . . it's time to try something new and perhaps expand your horizons in the process. And we here at steveconn.com have the perfect opportunity for you to do just that. Tune in to Yellow Beat Radio on Friday, January 14, between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM (Central Standard Time) for a lesson in the Japanese language. Don't fret if you're a little rusty . . . this eclectic music show is broadcast bilingually (in English and Japanese).
Count yourself doubly fortunate, though, as The One and Only Steve Conn will be a featured artist on this episode, as well as another. Sources say that Steve's first segment will air around 6:25 AM on the 14th, and the second will be broadcast sometime in the same two-hour time slot on Friday, January 28. Listeners near Tokyo, Japan, can tune in via Shonan Beach FM 78.9, but the rest of us will have to listen online.

In today's issue of The Tennessean, Mr. Conn receives his well-earned spot alongside such artists as June Carter Cash, Rodney Crowell, and Darrell Scott, as his self-titled release is voted in as one of the 20 finest CDs coming out of Nashville in 2003. Get it hot off of the newsstand, or check out the full list online.
While you're at it, take a listen to a brief interview of Steve by WPLN's Andy Scheinman. As a part of Nashville Public Radio's "Playing in the Band" series, Steve talks about the keyboard and his musical influences. The conversation is archived online in streaming RealAudio.

You know, as we are in the midst of the holiday season, we here at steveconn.com would like to suggest the perfect gift for all ages -- Steve Conn! No, not the man himself (although he would look rather impressive wrapped in a bow underneath someone's tree) . . . we're talking instead of his latest recording. You have to admit that it would make a great stocking stuffer. If your faith in the U.S. Postal Service is shaky and you're in the Nashville area, Steve's CD is now available at Global Soup in Hillsboro Village and Davis-Kidd Booksellers in Green Hills. Make everybody on your list happy with a CD from Steve Conn.

He's everywhere! He's everywhere! Check out the October issue of Keyboard Magazine, which contains an article about none other than the Connman himself. While the article could appear online sometime in the near future, you really should go out and purchase a copy of your own. Glossy magazine photos really are superior to the online version, and you know that this issue is sure to become a collector's edition.
