Steven Clark
Steven Clark is a highly regarded songwriter and singer from Glasgow, Scotland. His songs range across politics, pies, people and places, drawing on local and global events and concerns in an eclectic mix of styles and moods. The result is a strongly Scottish flavoured assortment of highly entertaining and memorable songs, powerfully influenced by the folk tradition, and a predisposition toward truly singable, chorussy, join-in songs of the Human Condition: Songs of life, living, struggle, anger, sadness, and joy.
