Steve Lawson

Steve Lawson (b 1972) is a solo bass guitarist, using real time looping to layer up processed bass sounds live to build an orchestral soundscape that blends jazz, ambient, electronica, funk and folk music.

He has released 10 albums on Pillow Mountain Records:

Conversations (2002)
Not Dancing For Chicken (2002)
Lessons Learnt From An Aged Feline Pt I (2002)

He gigs regularly in the UK and Europe, as well as performing in California annually at the NAMM convention, where he performs on behalf of Modulus Guitars, AccuGroove Amplification and Looperlative Audio Products.

In recent years, he's been involved in more and more collaborative musical projects, including The Recycle Collective, an monthly improvised music night featuring many luminaries from the London jazz scene, and a duo with American singer Lobelia, with whom he toured the UK, mainland Europe and the US in 2007. The duo will be releasing a live album early in 2008.
