Steve Hill

Born in Trois-Rivières in 1974 and based in Montréal at the start of his adult life, Steve Hill has since the 1990s developed a career rooted in blues rock, with a direct guitar style, writing nourished by North American rock, and a live-stage approach marked by the energy of performance. After honing his craft on bar stages and touring with Bob Harrisson, former drummer of Offenbach, Steve Hill released his self-titled debut album in 1997, followed notably by Call It What You Will (1999), Domino (2002), Devil at My Heels (2007), The Damage Done (2009) and Whiplash Love (2011). A major turning point occurred with the Solo Recordings series, begun in 2012, where Hill refined a one-man-band formula that blends electric blues, gritty rock and roots accents without losing density. This cycle continued with Solo Recordings, Vol. 2 (2014) and Vol. 3 (2016), before One Man Blues Rock Band (2018), Desert Trip (2020), Dear Illusion (2022) and Hanging on a String (2024). Present in blues and rock circuits in Quebec as elsewhere in Canada, Steve Hill has also performed at major festivals, including the Montréal International Jazz Festival.
