Frontman Steven Troch got “contaminated” by Rhythm & Blues in his late teens. Over the years he has turned into a very fine harmonica player with an extra dose of originality, an accomplished vocalist and clever songwriter
In 2016 Steven surrounded himself with a very talented & experienced bunch of musicians and the Steven Troch Band was born. Matt T Mahony is carrying the torch high, keeping one eye on tradition while pushing forward into newer areas. Miss Liesbeth Sprangers keeps a steady pace on her powerhouse bass and drummer Bernd Coene loves to groove and brews up a wide variety of rock-solid rhythms like no other.
In their music you will hear the mean menace of modern day life, the sweaty rhythms of the city, the blue notes of days gone by and lyrics that will paint a smile on your face. They are always walking a tightrope between High-Octane Swing, mellow Afterhours Blues and vintage feel-good R&B. Steven Troch Band is a solid four piece band that plays rough-edged contemporary Rhythm & Blues with soul-baring conviction.
Without any doubt " Steven Troch Band " is one of the finest bands playing some of the best contemporary and vintage style blues you will hear in Europe today.
"Easier To Be Myself" (radio edit) is a song taken from "The Call" the third studio album by Steven Troch. The album stands with one foot in the 20th century and the other in the present. Blues is still an important part, but instead of relying on the tried and tested recipe it is liberally sprinkled with other ingredients. Time and again the listener is surprised by changes in timbre, tonality and tempo. The album's songs are chimeras and half truths waiting for a chance to be told.
