Biography:
Steve Moakler has proved himself to be a master pop craftsman. His music is artistic, but accessible; indie roots with mass appeal. Listen to his music, and you too won’t deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories. His songs have a maturity you wouldn’t expect from a 23-year old who is quickly emerging as one of the best of a new generation of pop-rock songwriters who call Nashville home.
