Steve Hunter is an American Guitarist best known for his contributions to Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed and Alice Cooper. His extensive discography includes the opening solos on Aerosmith's version of 'Train Kept A Rollin', Alice Coopers 'Cold Ethyl', Lou Reed's 'Intro to Sweet Jane' and the acoustic guitars on Peter Gabriel's 'Solsbury Hill'. There’s something very liberating about reaching 75 and discovering a whole new way of being creative. That is what has happened to premier guitar player Steve ‘Deacon’ Hunter this year.After starting a new album at the beginning of 2023, he was working on an arrangement of Back Door Man when it crossed his mind that he could sing it, and that thought changed the direction of the whole album! ‘The Deacon Speaks’ now has him singing on eight tracks plus two instrumentals. Consisting of five covers and five original compositions, this is a bluesy, moody, vibe drenched collection with Hunters voice exuding a pinch of Dr John mixed with Tom Waites. A voice that, like his guitar playing, has character, insight and experience. His playing continues to shine with tone, dynamics, skill and above all, space. Don’t let Steve’s incredible history in Rock and Roll with Lou Reed, Alice Cooper and Peter Gabriel mislead you, his love of Blues, both Classic and Contemporary is still running through his veins.
