Steve Whalley
Steve Whalley is an English musician famous internationally as frontman for the massively successful English rock band Slade.
In his enduring career, Steve Whalley has drawn the attention of and consequently forged working collaborations with some of the very foundations of British and American popular and traditional music. Artists include Chuck Berry, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, James Burton, T. Rex, Jerry Donohue, Jerry Rafferty, Cliff Richard and the list goes on. With reference to James Burton, Steve was the choice as frontman vocalist/guitar for the promotion of the James Burton signature series Telecaster for Fender UK Ltd. This event covered by the National press with Sir Cliff Richard and Shakin’ Stevens singing backup vocals. As an artist touring the world at high profile level, to this day he is equally at home in small clubs as he is in a Grand Concert Hall.
In between his own shows, Steve took over for Noddy Holder as the frontman for 70’s powerhouse group Slade for 16 years. It was during these years he worked with all the big acts of that era, in particular the legendary T.Rex which featured his friend and confidante, drummer Paul Fenton and the great Mickey Finn. Slade have influenced numerous artists including: KISS, Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks, Queen, Quiet Riot, Poison, Def Leppard, Oasis, Cheap Trick, Twisted Sister, The Clash, Candlebox, The Undertones, The Runaways. Their anarchic attitude was adopted by The Damned, The Wonder Stuff, and Oasis, the latter of whom covered Cum On Feel the Noize.
Steve Whalley left Slade in 2005 to refocus on his solo career. His new album Travelin’ Soul on Spectra Records has been receiving rave reviews. Wherever Steve appears, the audience is left spellbound by his powerful rock and soulful voice. His guitar style combines immense power and unorthodox savvy, ranging from cooderesque Slide/Bottleneck, thru Gospel, Soul, Rock and more. Steve has recorded for the major labels such as Phonogram, Mercury, Zomba and Spectra. Steve is currently on tour with the Rock Classic All Stars for Alba concerts in Germany as well as his own show featuring slide acoustic, mandolin and hot strat, peppered with great humor and an endearing sense of humility. In his own words, “An Honest Broker in the Bank of Melodies.”
The official site for Steve Whalley is currently undergoing reconstruction. Travelin’ Soul may now be found on iTunes and other retailers.
