about
There are at least two recording artists called Steve Turner. 1. Steve Turner (born Steven Neil Turner in Houston, TX, United States on 28 March 1965) is an American guitarist, songwriter and (as a solo artist) vocalist, most famous for his work with Seattle band Mudhoney. Before co-founding Mudhoney in 1988 Turner played in a number of other bands include Green River, The Fall-Outs and The Thrown Ups. In addition to his work as a guitarist in these bands, he has also released several solo albums, of which Searching for Melody (2002) was the first. Unlike his work with Mudhoney, Turner's solo albums are mostly acoustic and sixties folk rock inspired, although his most recent solo effort New Wave Punk Asshole (2006) is considerably more punky and garage-y. 2. Steve Turner is a British folk singer and concertina player. Turner comes from a family of singers and concertina players. His grandfather was known to have sung and played the instrument in the 1890s. Turner began his career on the Manchester folk scene at the end of the 1960s. Joining the Geordie band Canny Fettle in 1970, he made two albums and toured in Britain and Europe with them for eight years. In 1979, he won the Melody Maker 'Stars of the 80s' national competition, which persuaded him to turn professional for 12 years until 1991. During this time he made four solo albums with Fellside Records and toured internationally. A period of thirteen years away from the folk scene followed with Turner building a violin
