Houston, TX (Top40 Charts/ Powderfinger Promotions) Steve Krase has been a staple in the
Houston music scene for the last 20 years and now releases his much anticipated sophomore album, Some Day . Steve learned to play harp by listening to
James Cotton and J. Geils Band records. Living in
Houston has allowed Steve the opportunity to work with such greats as the late Joe "
Guitar" Hughes, Pete Mayes, Big Walter "The Thunderbird", and Jerry Lightfoot, for whom he spent 10 years as harp man. Steve released his first album, Easy Livin', in 2004. He has represented the
Houston Blues Society twice in the IBC finals in
Memphis and is a three time
Houston Press
Music Award nominee for "Best Blues" and "Best Instrumentalist." Krase, who also works with the great vocalist Trudy Lynn, is well-known for delivering high energy performances!
Some Day is largely driven by the five tracks penned by Krase's younger brother David, which provide different rhythms and haunting lyrics that allow Krase to expand vocally. In addition to the harp, Steve pays tribute to his boyhood idol
Peter Wolf with rockin' covers of "Jealous Love" and "Did You No Wrong," and an upbeat version of Muddy Waters' "Why People Like That." "She Does It Right" is a unique take on the Wilko Johnson classic from Dr. Feelgood days. "Texistential Blues" is a tribute to the late and largely unheralded guitarist and songwriter, Jerry Lightfoot.
Some Day was recorded at Houston's historic Red Shack Recording Studios by Rock Romano. The album features Krase's dynamic harmonica playing and his intensity is matched by
Houston guitar demon
James Henry.
