Steve Goldberger - BIO & SOLO ARTIST DISCOGRAPHY

Since the early 70's Steve Goldberger has been a band leader and a freelance bass player/vocalist. Today, he keeps very busy with his own bands, The Fringe Locals and The Niagara Rhythm Section, as well as with a diverse list of folk, jazz, blues, country and roots artists, splitting his time between Toronto and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

After surviving open heart surgery Steve released his first indie CD, "Come From the Heart" which was recorded live over three nights in early 2000 at the Olde Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Feathers Pub in Toronto.

In 2002 Steve has released two new albums. "The Niagara-on-the-Lake Rhythm Project" is a collection of original instrumental tunes. This is a project that began in 2000. What started out as an "all acoustic world music type of thing" evolved over time into this showcase featuring the composing talents and musicianship of Steve and his pals in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

"Gumbo Dreams" is an album of all original "singer/songwriter" material. Steve was heavily involved in writing music in the Black Creek days (mid 70's) and even won a Genie award for best original score in 1975. Now, finally after thirty years of playing other writer's tunes and a lifetime of experience, he has gotten back to writing again. The songs cover the wide range of styles that have influenced him over the years resulting in a "gumbo-type" mix of roots, country-rock, blues and folk. And if you had to "label" his music, you might be reminded of Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams or Little Feat with some Don Henley thrown in.

"CLUELESS" The most recent album by Steve Goldberger & the Fringe Locals. - Once again, Steve and his pals put together a new album of diverse material. With thirteen new original songs, Steve hits the mark with his own tunes plus co-writes with his usual writing partners Gayle Ackroyd, Joanne Ingrassia and Dory Karr. Crossing over from folk to country, good old rock and roll, blues, pop, jazz and tribal rhythms, this album follows the route of his previous endeavours with writing and production levels moving up an extra notch.
