About Cliff Stevens
Blues guitarist Cliff Stevens is an award-winning artist from Montreal, Canada. He has played the blues and toured for several decades throughout Canada, Europe, Mexico & Morocco. His solo debut on Preservation Blues Review featured two original songs that received critical acclaim.
About to release his new studio album BETTER DAYS which follows on the heels of his fourth solo album NOBODY BUT YOU which spent 58 consecutive weeks on the Roots Music Report charts including 20 straight weeks in the Too 10 on Blues Rock and Canada Top 50 charts. BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE (USA) said this about the album: " Stevens shows us he can write really good songs and deliver them with passion. The guitar sound and playing is outstanding."
The live release LIVE IN GERMANY (2018) received great reviews and airplay around the world :
“LIVE in GERMANY by Cliff Stevens is a great live album.” – ConcertMonkey (Belgium)
“Cliff Stevens has plenty of talent and fans of hard-edged blues guitar will find plenty to enjoy on this exciting live set” – BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE (USA)
GRASS WONT GROW (2016) received rave reviews and attention airplay around the word:
Listen to what some people said:
BLUES MATTERS MAGAZINE (UK) -
“I am entranced by the all-round performance of Stevens…quality oozes out of every track…every inch a performer in the same mould as Eric Clapton…the quality of his writing, singing and guitar playing…make it an album to listen to again and again…this man is totally awesome!"
BLUES MUSIC MAGAZINE (USA) - “This is a great release by a great artist…hot licks and cool music…blistering leads and swinging beats…drips with feeling and emotion.”
BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE (USA) - “This man has a lot of cool stuff to say…well written and performed…solid album…this cool set of modern blues-rock is catchy and well crafted.”
FEELIN’ the BLUES (2014) His first solo effort received awards & praise:
BLUES MATTER MS MAGAZINE (UK) - “…fine slide…finely wrought vocal style…quality quality songs.”
REAL BLUES MAGAZINE - “Top 10 Albums, Top 10 Guitarists, Best Original Song” (It also spent 18 months on the Top 100 new CD’s charts)
BIO
Cliff Stevens has been playing guitar professionally for longer than he sometimes cares to admit, around 35 years to be vaguely precise. Like so many blues musicians before him, he spent much of his career displaying his significant talents in relative obscurity as a sideman with various travelling groups. Crowds ranged anywhere from 14,000 at the Montreal International Jazz Festival to 1,400 at the Medley Club in Montreal to 14 drunks in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
Like a moth to a flame, Stevens was drawn irresistibly to the genre. He recalls learning to play at 13 jamming for hours to slow blues in a coffee house in his home town of Montreal that was a hot bed for Canadian guitarists like Frank Marino of Mahogany Rush and being influenced by the foremost British and American blues rock guitarists of the day. “Clapton just jammed all night long and I was blown away,” Stevens says of a Cream concert that he attended in Montreal in 1968. “I then saw Johnny Winter in 1970 and memorized every lick I could.”
The non-stop grind of six-nights a week on the road mixed with alcohol and drugs took its toll. “I was burned out, disillusioned, I badly needed a break,” says Stevens who stepped away from music from 1982 to 1985 to drive taxi in Toronto.
He also went back to school earning a Masters Degree in Music and Education from Concordia University in Montreal and explored other musical styles. “I really got into jazz for a while but I kept getting calls for blues gigs and had no real opportunity to master the jazz language,” he says.
After 7 years of sobriety, Stevens headed back out on the road but suffered a relapse while performing in Morocco. “It lasted close to 3 years and almost did me in – it was really rough,” he confides.
Alcohol and drug-free since 1998 and with a renewed focus on his forte of the blues, Stevens’ solo career has taken flight. Two songs, Said the Wrong Thing and Crying My Heart Out that he composed in Paris in 1997 appeared to much acclaim on the Preservation Blues Review compilation CD.
In 2009, Stevens released his self-titled debut album comprised of 15 tracks, 8 of them original. It spent 18 months on the Top 100 New CD chart and was nominated for Album of the Year by Le Lys Blues. Real Blues Magazine ranked it among the top 10 Canadian blues albums of 2009, Stevens among the top 10 blues guitarists and won the award for Don’t Walk Away for Best Original Song.
With his Clapton-like looks, raspy vocals and vast knowledge and virtuosity as a blues guitarist, Stevens is recognised as the world’s premier Eric Clapton impersonator, faithfully and respectfully recreating the music of a legend and one of his formative influences. www.EricClaptonTribute.com
A great guitarist who sings the blues with the road-hardened voice of experience, Cliff Stevens is a must see!
