STEVE REYNOLDS PRESENTS 429 RECORDS DEBUT, “EXILE”
LIBERATION JAN ’06

Echo Park Troubadour Officially Worldwide

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Santa Monica, CA: 429 Records (SLG/WEA) is proud to announce the signing and imminent release of Steve Reynolds and his stunningly accomplished new recording “Exile.” “Exile” is a musical manifesto written and performed with intimacy and grace. Distilled in the music is the life experience of an artist willing to take risks to satisfy an irrepressibly curious soul and all that entails—indulgence, wanderlust, love, lost love, joy and a lot of pain, youthful run-ins with the law, redemption and resultant wisdom. The stories contained are at once personal and universal--steeped in a depth of experience that belies his age.

Call him mercurial. The Canadian expat troubadour has established a solid fanbase from his new home in Echo Park, California with performances that keep them guessing as to how he’ll throw it down that night. Solo acoustic w/finger-plucking flair (he’s an extraordinary guitarist), rockin’ quartet, levitation-inducing quintet with a keyboardist providing shimmering ambience…it’s never less than wonderful. Captivated audiences at the Hotel Café are in on one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles and the rest of the world for that matter. A recent European tour with Tom McRae won over quite a few listeners overseas as well.

“Dear Rose” will lead the charge over the airwaves in September. Other tracks vying for attention: “Happy,” “That Old Love,” “Market Fool,” “Only Son,” “Miner’s Lamp,” “Forsaken,” “Painter and Son,” “Satellite,” “Static” and “Exile.”
