BRANDON — Brandon Music welcomes back the compelling and enigmatic singer-songwriter, Steve Hartmann from Jericho. At the beginning of the year, Hartmann stunned the Brandon Music audience with his highly accomplished and unique sound. He is a polished guitarist with amazing vocals and engaging stage presence.
A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Hartmann majored in piano and double majored in stage performance and song writing. Born in Dalat, Vietnam towards the end of the Vietnam War, Hartmann was adopted at the age of 5 months. He struggled to find a sense of belonging until he found music at the age of 12. He’s a self taught guitar player and a classically trained pianist.
He started the journey of finding his “sound” when he met his best friend and bassist, Drew Breder, at age 18. Using various vocal effects and looper pedals, his sound has grown to be readily identifiable as his own. Having opened for major label acts like Jeffrey Gaines, Chris Carrabba and Reeve Carney, and won several singer-songwriter contests, Hartmann’s dynamic vocal range, lyrically driven tunes and captivating stage presence sets him apart.
See Hartmann live in concert on Sept. 7, at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call (802) 247-4295, email [email protected] or visit brandon-music.net for reservations or more info.
