Performers
A great range of music from some of Puget Sound's great musicians and performers.
Steven W. Young
10:00am - 10:45am
Steven W. Young’s music can be best described as a melting pot of Americana storytelling. Songs draw the listener in to take sides with a hero or the villain via an engaging sonic landscape that incorporates dynamic use of acoustic guitar, loops, and percussion. Touring the USA and internationally for 20+ years with rock, country and world music acts as a backing musician, Young has molded these experiences and influences into a style all his own. Young plans to release more engaging songs in the fall of 2022 to compliment his existing catalog of original music available on all streaming services.
