Steve Roberts

Steve Roberts has one of rock & roll's most underrated voices. Although recognised in his hometown of Liverpool, England, mass exposure is something he has yet to achieve, perhaps too subtle and soft-spoken to be heard above the din of commercial rubbish. . Through 16 Tambourines Roberts found a vehicle for his smooth, unpretentious vocals. From 1985 to 1986, Roberts sang at over 100 16 Tambourines gigs, which were gaining positive word of mouth. The group was eventually signed to Arista Records and released one LP, How Green Is Your Valley?, in 1990. After 16 Tambourines collapsed, he kept the torch burning as The Tambourines releasing a number of guitar heavy singles on indie labels.  After the Tambourines broke up, Roberts decided to go solo and working with members of the Lightning Seeds and The La's released It Just Is in 2001. In 2005 he released a second solo album Shake it Make it and Don't Fake It and followed it quickly with an album from a band Captain Pop which reunited him with a couple of former 16 Tambourines.
2 EPs inspired by the Cold War and an EP When We Dreamed We Dreamed of Dreams are his latest releases. Steve is recording new songs due for release shortly.
