about
One of the true pioneers of the local music landscape. Steve has had a major impact on the Valley [Northampton Massachusetts] sound. From the 80s group Pajama Slave Dancers (which he describes as "weirdo punk") to the alt-rock group the Slow Band, Westfield's music has intrigued and inspired. He has passed from the times his punk group, Pajama Slave Dancers, to his solo career, which has the beautiful additional sounds of acoustic guitars, trombone and tuba, all seasoned with an odd organ or pedal steel guitar...His group, (The Slow Band!), often follows the trail of the ballad on "Underwhelmed", but they transform this classical exercise into a completely mastered art...The band displays an acceptance of mistakes, that shows a love of ease. Steve Westfield has in fact made a choice, to take his time rather than waste it. It must take you some time to get into his music, the time for taking in his comfort. But Voila! you are comfortable and mellow in his cushioned leather couch hands User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
