Steve Pledger Biography
Steve Pledger is an award-winning recording artist with an enviable reputation as a talented and dynamic performer. BBC Introducing have called his music "beautiful, authentic, unblemished and wonderful”. With writing that ranges from fragile reflections on love and loss to blistering commentaries on present circumstances, his songs pack an emotional punch, both on record and on stage.
His musical influences are many and varied and include Graham Parker, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, Martyn Joseph, Van Morrison, Don McLean, Springsteen and others.
Following on from his 2012 debut album ‘14 Good Intentions’, April 2015 saw Steve release its follow-up, ‘Striking Matches In The Wind’ , which according to R2 Magazine’s 4* review is “Authentically expressed in a voice with genuine appeal... a direct route to the heart.”
Successful tours over the last few years have taken him around the UK, including several across Scotland. Steve’s much anticipated third album, ‘Somewhere Between’ (2016) appeared on multiple ‘Best of 2016’ radio shows, frequently in the top ten, and in January 2017 was announced as Album Of The Year by FATEA, as well as by FolkWords in the Male Solo Artist category.
In February 2019, Steve launched his live music initiative, On Trust Events, to help make live music more accessible to all, regardless of financial situation. Towards the end of the year, he also put out his first live album, 'Alone in the Dark', which Roots & Fusion named as one of their '25 Essential Albums of the Year'.
November 2022 saw the release of Steve's first studio album in 6 years. Met with critical acclaim, Folk & Tumble said in their 5 Star review that it 'cements Pledger's status as one of the finest protest singer-songwriters of his generation'.

“(‘Somewhere Between’) casts Steve as a protest singer, up there with the likes of Billy Bragg, Phil Ochs and Ewan MacColl.” Neil King, FATEA Magazine
