#CONCERT
Steve Gunn – quality music in a cool bar
“It’s impossible to just talk about Steve. He’s too good! He’s so good, just listen to him. (…) a solid vocal and some melodies with traces of folk and the delta blues, sure, but also, I dunno, like the Meat Puppets maybe. But he takes it further, and on his own terms, and all the while it sounds old, and new, and timeless.”That’s Pitchfork about NYC-based singer-songwriter Steve Gunn who will grace Warsaw with a concert this Wednesday – check him out yourself!
