"Some things you have to learn just through the livin' and your best teacher is your last mistake.-♫" 

Depends who you ask. Fort Worth native. Barber. Writer of song.  As a barber he'll tell you he wears many hats: referee, therapist, advisor. And he'll also tell you that bad advice is free until you take it. Some interesting stories are heard behind the chair and become the brush strokes of his lyrics. Do not fear. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. 

That noted Straight Razor Steve's wordsmithing speaks for itself. Three chords and the Truth. However, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Stories about losers. Some you feel sorry for and some you don't. Songs about gambling your life for love where some win and others die trying. SRS is convinced we all prefer sad stories over happy ending. As if you and I have a reason to feel better about our lot in life after listening to his cautionary tales.

“I thought you had to live an extraordinary life or a foolish one to pen songs worth a lick. However, I realized that was not the truth at all. You just have to be a good listener."

Straight Razor Steve won't deny his music is stripped down Americana but he'll smile if someone calls it “old country in the Willie way”. But old is good if you ask SRS. Right now, you can discover his live music on the Bandcamp platform and that's about it.

“Thank you for letting me into your living room."
