ABOUT STEFF
From the beginning:
Steff Nevers was born 1975 in the small Norwegian town of Drammen. He grew up in the similarly unknown town of Modum. Still, the move was worthwhile for the toddler because it was here that he came into contact with music. He was already convinced at a young age that he would become a musician. Instead of a classic violinist – his original career goal – Steff Nevers became an outstanding guitarist. His speciality: finger picking. Soon the stocky virtuoso was a heavily booked session guitarist across the whole of Norway.
In 2007 Steff Nevers decided to get involved in his own music – and realize his own dream. Recording an album in Nashville with the greats of the studio scene. With the assistance of the Nashville A-Team – drummer Eddie Bayers, guitarist Brent Mason, steel guitarist Paul Franklin & Co. – the Norwegian was successful in making a highly acclaimed album, strongly linked to the roots of music. Besides excellent reviews his first work in 2008 also brought him a recording contract with AGR/Universal.
His debut “Closest to My Heart” for the major label is now meeting high expectations – in an astonishingly relaxed way. As befits a worthy campaigner of country music the European newcomer is presenting 13 remarkably authentic tracks. Among these are good mood songs (One Beer a Day, Party at the Farm), songs in the country sounds of the 90’s (Redneck Rehab, Keep it Up), superb harmonic ballads (title track Stay for a While) and songs jam-packed with nostalgic feelings (Let it Rain). Steff Nevers interprets all of these equally different and yet perfectly compatible tracks completely effortlessly and convincingly with a warm sounding voice.
FROM THE NEWSPAPERS:
- Steff broke a golden rule in the music industry. He sent me his debut album in the mail accompanied by a handwritten letter. I almost didn’t even bother to lift my eyebrows when I opened the package. I have received countless demo tapes for years and years. All of them with a hope to get a record deal. They have all except from 5-6 been canned. We give everyone a chance so I put Steff Nevers CD in the player.
- My jaw hit the ground. At first I thought someone pulled a joke on me. He’s got this amazing voice and perfect diction. Was this guy Norwegian and undiscovered as well? And on top of it all he lives just a few hundred feet away from me.
- Steff has a problem. He is too good. There is no limit to how big he can become in this country. Harald from Universal Music has so many good things to say about Steff that he decided to sign his neighbor.

- My jaw hit the ground when I heard a few tracks from his upcoming album. Little did I know that he lives in Drammen and that he lives just a few roadblocks from my house. Personally I’m not a fan of country music. But what Steff Nevers does is from a different planet compared to other country artists in Norway.

- Steff Nevers gets line dancers and dark dressed Cash fans to swing with their hips and toes. Countryrock with raw BBQ sauce and a kick ass guitar twang. I was taken by surprise how genuine real and American this was. This is “The Real Deal”. To me it’s more exiting than the most popular artists on the country scene in the US today. Steff Nevers is a name we will hear a lot of in the future.
