Details:
WHO DOES HE SOUND LIKE? DIAMOND & DARRIN?
Try to imagine a rough-hewn young Neil Diamond super imposed on a swinging Bobby Darrin on steroids. Talk about revolutionary retro! This cat takes big band 40''s jive ("Who Knew" ,"Nobody Knew")and mixes it up with early seventies songwriter''s angst ("Quiet Night/Jenny''s Song") to create lush Richard Perry-esque pop. But he doesn''t stop there. Fedrick takes broad stylistic jumps and, like Harry Nilsson, takes different musical genres and make them his own. Intimate and raw? Listen to "Train Wreck". Inspirational? Hear anthemic "Hold On To Love", a plea to embrace common humanity. Spirituality? Fedrick celebrates the eternal ("Forever Heart") yet makes compelling observations on religious fundementalism with "Billy Sunday"(--Could this also be an indictment on ego-driven mega churches?) He even goes Nashville. But don''t expect to cry in your beer. Fedrick''s "Without Expectations" conveys the sad arc of a love affair without a hint of sentimentality. "Fedrick, not Fred" is a sometimes quirky but always honest and powerful album of amazing beauty.
But Who Is Steven Fedrick?
He''s a straight forward guy who mostly embraces life. Who are his influences?
"Menken & Ashman are my idols”, states Fedrick. “Ashman’s perspicacious lyrics perfectly realized in Menken’s mellifluous melodies of every genre. How can one not be inspired by songs like Mean Green Mother from Outer Space, Kiss the Girl, or Gaston".
Besides creating music, his passions include crappie fishing in East Texas and the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains. He believes in the power of generosity and discipline.
