ONE BAD MUTHA, GOT A RATTLESNAKE SUITCASE UNDER HIS ARM, Yowza

First solo CD by NYC's Steve Broderick shows his immediately identifiable voice on some mellower music than he's sang in the past.

UPCOMING SHOWS 2008 -



TSO Winter Tour 2008 go to www.trans-siberian.com for tour dates


Broderick, who has been a vocalist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra recently, strikes out with a solo effort (and I don't mean strikes out like the disc is a loser, rather that he ventures out on his own apart from the band). The sound is solid, with a classic blues-based approach to rock. And Broderick has some good help here - from producer/bassist Mike Lutz, who wrote "Smokin' in the Boy's Room" to guitarists Blue Miller (Bob Seger), Joel Hoekstra, and drummer Mark Ambrosino (Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald). But it is Broderick's voice that holds court, a voice which displays a wide range of tones and emotions. On "You Don't Even Know," even with guitar lines working back and forth, his vocals still cut through. And on a ballad like "No Accident," Broderick shows a breathy side as the song begins, intoning softly as the chords descend. Yet he can also snarl like a junkyard dog, as on "Lovelight," a song that sounds like a rejuvenated Rolling Stones tune. Of the songs, there is just one cover, "Never A Day Goes By" by Artful Dodger, with the other dozen tunes penned by Broderick and his collaborators. Whether the song is a blasting rock number or a pensive ballad, it is Broderick's voice that holds it all together thematically. www.stevebroderick.com

"Steve Broderick is a major talent and fine singer; this worthy debut will no doubt be picked up by a national major label very soon."

  • Dig This!
    author: Robinson Treacher

    Had the honor of performing some of theses songs live with Steve. You think the album is good...dig him live! Too much alternative out there...Steve is a kick you in the face performer...none of this hit you in the back of the head shit! Right up front...POW! We need him on the NYC scene...the city is going soft!!!!

  • Awsome
    author: Terry L Rupert

    Steve gives an awsome performance with TSO singing Old City Bar and this CD is just as impressive if not more so. If you like blues/rock you will not be disappointed. He is a refreshing change from other artists who have that canned/commercial sound found too often in this era of lack luster talent. Great CD. Great talent.

  • Another Album?
    author: Cindy Roehler

    Awesome, awesome CD....but I'm still hanging on for another one!!!!

  • Love Your CD
    author: joanne hershberger

    I discovered Steve Broderick through TSO who I finally went to see this last tour - awesome concert. I ordered Steve's CD and have been listening to it extensively since then. Much to my surprise it has the same bluesy rock feel as a lot of great music from the 60's and 70's. I definetly hear influences of the Rolling Stones (especially Exile On Main Street era) and Humble Pie - one of the best blues rock bands ever. If Steve had been a member of any of those bands he would have done them proud. The vocals, songs and musicianship of everyone involved are are outstanding. Especially love the song Sweet Relief - can't seem to get that one out of my head. Brilliant CD. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys great music.

  • YES!

    author: Tara St.Marie

    I cant seem to get enough of the CD, especially after meeting him and gettin it signed, I hve just had a bigger attraction to it. I loved it the day I got it, I loved it the day I had to order another one, I love it now. I listen to it before I leave in the morning, I listen to it in the shower... Pure Genious... AMAZING, just simply amazing

  • author: Dana

    I think I've palyed the CD at least once a day since it arrived. His voice and lyrics are heartfelt through out the entire CD. Nice variety of music styles. Let me know when he records again.

  • Steve's CD is fantastic!
    author: Elizabeth Kelly

    Thanks so much for sending my CD so quickly! I was so excited, and I didn't want to wait for it too long!

  • I love Steve B and hes the sweetest guy ever
    author: Tara St.Marie

    The CD is amazing and the songs are just so touching. I love it even more that knowing the guy who wrote is such a sweet guy but like it says not about the artist. I mean what can you say the CD is amazing!!! I love it and I am currently putting it as my ringer on my cell phone the exact song is Ain't Quite Heaven

  • I LOVE STEVIE B!!
    author: Kathy Farrugia

    Steve Broderick is a great singer/songwriter as evidenced by this CD!! This is #1 on my iPod. Looking forward to hearing a lot more from him!!

  • Great CD
    author: Kelly

    Steve Broderick is a great musician. I bought this CD after being directed to this website after visiting TSO's site. I love his voice and hope he makes more CD's soon.

  • Steve's a favorite on my iPod
    author: Kirsten

    "Love is Wasted on Me" is the number one played song on my iPod (beating out my favorite Stones songs!). Most of his songs (and sometimes the whole album) are up there too on my most played list. Steve has a killer voice and writes kick ass songs that echo the masters of rock & roll.

  • A great break from the mainstream.
    author: Keith from Ohio

    I love TSO, and when I saw Steve's cd, I had to get it. He's an amazing singer and I would buy any cd that he lends his voice to. I hope he keeps releasing cd's, I would like more.

  • You rock, Steve~
    author: Tim

    This CD really rocks; I saw Steve with TSO in Toledo 3 years in a row; love this solo album!

  • Way to go, Stevie!!
    author: Lynda Boles

    Super CD!! Looking forward to more!! Love the good old rock and roll sound. Can hardly wait for the IAG tour in April to see Steve Broderick Live!!

  • Great Music and Amazing Vocals
    author: Karen

    Loved the music and vocals. First heard Steve with TSO and loved his singing of the old city bar. This is a great CD.

  • Amazing cd
    author: Kay

    This cd is absolutely amazing. I've seen Broderick perform with TSO for a few years and think his solo work is just as amazing. From the captivating vocals to the incredible lyrics, it's all so original and each song is worth listening to again and again. You definitely won't be disappointed with this cd!

  • This CD ROCKS! Great job Steve!
    author: Tom Cheek

    I love this CD. I've always loved Steve's singing with TSO but this is his chance to shine as a solo artist. Awesome job Steve, very impressive!

  • I think his CD is great.
    author: Tracey

    I think this CD is great and I enjoy listening to it. I can not wait until he releases his next album.

  • Best new rock release "This Side of the Sun"
    author: Rebecca Breed

    Wow. Thirteen awesome tunes that have quickly worked their way into my Most Played. No other way to say it, this CD just flat out rocks. Steve steps up to the mike and delivers a performance to rival (and in some cases outshine) any of the big names of classic R&R. Buy this CD and have your faith restored that rock is still alive and kicking. Steve: already looking forward to the next release. Keep singing!

  • cd is amazing, he is just as good in TSO as he is solo
    author: DarkStarSk8er

    The cd is an amazing first from "Stevie B". His voice has something about it that makes it awesome to listen to. His voice is the most amazing that I have heard in a while, and I really hope he gets a single on the radio soon. TSO is a really good way to show his talent off, and he should sing "Old City Bar" more often. Ten minutes of his voice= ten minutes of heaven. His voice is insurpassable.

  • What a great voice!!
    author: Roxie

    Over the last few years I have fallen in love with Steve's voice while he has toured with TSO. I knew this CD would have to be outstanding, and it is!! Great from first song to the last! I bought two, and gave the second to a friend for a Christmas gift. What a bright shining star Steve is, and the CD is absolutly phenomenal!!

  • Awesome...Amazing...
    author: Mandy

    This CD is amazing...the lyrics are heartfelt and deep, it's a great CD to listen to in any mood, and Steve brings an aura of sexiness to the lyrics that gives you goosebumps...I rate it a 10! =)

  • A long way from TSO!!!
    author: Mistress Lynda

    I heard Steve sing with TSO (2nd row seats...yee haaa), and without dissing any of the extremely talented vocalists with whom he shared the stage, he blew me away!! What an AMAZING voice...so much emotion. He sang a really sad song, and I was practically in tears. So I found him online, checked out American Trash (cool cool cool), and bought his solo CD. VERY IMPRESSIVE effort. Not a bad song to be found. Buy it! You won't be disappointed. I accidentally bought two copies and after listening, didn't send the second one back! I passed it along to a friend. Keep up the excellent work!

  • Great lyrics and a voice to match
    author: JSomers

    Much more mello than I'm used to. I've been listening to Steve's music since his college days in Oneonta, covering Bad Co., to the Stones, to Led Zeppelin. Just as in the past, his voice still overshadows the music. I'm amazed at how long it has taken for this talent to be discovered.

  • Great Music-- Amazing voice!!
    author: LynnL716

    Love, Love, Love this CD-- The music and lyrics, are passionate, Steve's vocals just blow me away every time I listen to it.. No comparison, Steve has is own, amazing sound...

  • Rocks the Casbah
    author: Jess

    I saw Steve live with TSO and fell in love with his voice. So I bought the cd and fell in love all over again. It is amazing and has a great mix of songs. Fifty fifty, You don't even know, and lovelight are a couple of my favorites, but Sometimes I can't belive you're real and Love is wasted on me are AMAZING too! This CD is by far one of the best things I could think of to spend my money on. GREAT CD!

  • Excellent
    author: Donita

    Saw Steve do sing with TSO and wanted to hear more, what a great disc

  • author: FT

    If you're looking for great songs, you've found the right CD. There are no throwaway tracks, so there's no need to use the "skip" button on your CD player. A great mixture of songs with influences from John Cougar to The Stones and more. Pure, timeless rock and roll at its best. This is an album that you'll still be playing years from now, and it will sound as fresh as your first listen. In fact, this record gets better with each listen. While all of the tracks are great, my personal favorites are: "No Accident", "Sweet Relief" and "Never A Day Goes By." The song "Sometimes I Can't Believe Your Real" would be a perfect fit for the opening of a show like The O.C. Thought-provoking lyrics, great melodies and the truly unique styling of vocalist Steve Broderick should have this CD making some noise (no pun intended).

  • It's got the right mix of a little bit of everything-awesome.
    author: Paula DamnSkippy Philllips

    This album rocks, has alot of soul. There is something for everyone on this album. It's very fresh and I believe that it is just the begining for Steve Broderick. Damn Skippy!

  • And This Bird Can Sing....
    author: Willy

    I’d really only ever seen Broderick fronting the hard rock attack of American Trash, so I was intrigued when I’d heard he’d “gone solo” with this CD. At its best, “Steve Broderick” reminds me of everything I used to love about up growing up with classic rock radio. My favorite track is “You Don’t Even Know” which wouldn’t sound out of place on John Cougar’s “American Fool”. Another rocker, “Fifty Fifty” is definitely Stones-inspired. Love the line: “Going solo ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, I’ll cut you in Fifty Fifty.” The album is defined by its slower numbers, though. “Sweet Relief” and “Love is Wasted on Me” are the best of these. His band provides great support – there is some amazing slide guitar and acoustic work – that creates an airy, laidback contrast to Broderick’s urgent crooning. A number of ballads offer a bevy of potential prom songs. “Never a day goes by” and “Can’t Believe You’re Real” both have mega-hit pop refrains that burn themselves onto your brain. While there isn’t a bad song on the album, the red-blooded males among us would have probably appreciated one or two fewer ballads. But Broderick throws us a bone here too. He includes “Lovelight,” a real amped up burner, which is more reminiscent of his earlier, heavier stuff.

  • Great vocals with Accoustic guitar..some real song and emotion
    author: Melinda

    A great way to start off the cd off with a Mama Kettle song "Love Is Wasted On Me" with a bluesy feel kinda of "Never A day Goes By" the song "Fifty Fifty" has a good groove going on..which then goes to my Fav so far with "No Accident" very good guitar and the vocals just flow...some of my other favs on the cd is "You Don't Even know","Sweet Relief", "This Side Of The Sun" and the bonus song "In The Sky" this cd has been locked in my cd player since the day I recieved it from "CDBABY" Great cd to put in the cd player and enjoy every song without skipping over this track or that track...It's not too Heavy and Not too soft..a really Nice in between!

    author: JentheGuitarGirl

    Steve Broderick’s solo CD is a heartfelt, soulful and passionate musical journey. The song lyrics are deeply meaningful. It was as if his heart grasped a pen and began writing volumes. Steve’s vocals are extraordinary. This hard-hitting hard rock singer demonstrates great range, tenderness and versatility in this wonderful collection of music. The vocals nicely compliment the emotions being conveyed throughout the CD. It’s also evident that in addition to himself, he acquired the expertise of top musicians on this project. The guitars really stand out and shine. I love all the songs but certain ones stand out. “Love is wasted on me” has a great groove and wonderful dynamics. “No accident” will just blow you away. “Dripping” is just a totally cool song. “You Don’t Even Know” is upbeat and passionate. “A Love that won’t Die” is simply a beautiful song that is easy to relate to if you’re in love. Whether he's rocking us hard or blowing us away with his tenderness, it's evident that Steve Broderick chose the right career path and we are lucky to be the recipients of his music. It’s obvious that Steve took great care in assembling this musical work of art and it’s an honor to have it in my music collection.
