he had formed the five-piece Steve Gibbons Band which enjoyed success in the singles charts and has been perennially popular on the live circuit ever since.
With a huge international following, Steve’s long career has encompassed 17 albums. Along the way he has worked and toured with many bands including The Who, Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd and E.L.O. In 1981, SGB responded to an invitation from the German Democratic Republic and became the first western rock band to tour the major cities of the former East Germany.
Steve is an inspired songwriter and many of his songs feature colourful characters. The most notable cover of a SteveGibbons song is the title track of Roger Daltrey’s album ‘One Of The Boys’.
