With a solid grip on acoustic blues underneath and a consistent show of song crafting flair, Steve Hill’s current offering commands well deserved attention throughout the set.  The Montreal-based guitarist’s muscular, measured vocals match well with a string of originals and collaborations marked by compelling moods and meaty lyrics.  All of this coexists with abundant displays of guitar prowess.  The smart pop nature of “Cold Hearts” makes for a standout track as does the haunting atmosphere of “Judgement Day”.
