Steve DeVries CDs
The CDs rich melodies are timeless and capture the heart and mind by way of the six-string guitar. Horizons has been described as, "Mesmorizing," "The way a guitar should sound," and "Highly intimate." From the emotional ride of "Tightwire" to the innocence of "Kierra's Smile," this CD will envelope you with a never-want-to-leave feeling.

The songs found on this cd range in intensity and emotional impact from feeling the humorous bounce of "Grandpa's Model T" to viewing the faint light in "Quarter Moon Night" to sharing the tears of "Dorothy's Prayer". Stories Without Words achieves a next-to-live performance feel, all performed in Steve's distinctive finger-style technique. The 15 selections on this cd paint vivid images of Steve's memories without lyrics.

Released in 2010, this ten song cd flows with honesty, haunting melodies and humor -- including Fiddlin' Round (an impromptu take), Mason Dixie (a collage of traditional melodies dancing with Southern authenticity) and Gwyntog Gan (written for Steve's wife). The artistry will leave the listener breathless!
