Steve Ball Roadshow music features gentle, textural, hook-filled songs arranged for multiple voices and interlocking acoustic guitars. Their live set shows off an exceptional blend of musical influences including Robert Fripp & the League of Crafty Guitarists, Steve Reich, Kate Bush, Simon and Garfunkle, Jonatha Brooke, U2, Pete Townshend, David Byrne, Richard Thompson, the Cars, U2, Yes, and Peter Gabriel.
The Steve Ball Roadshow (SBRS) has been playing in and all around the Seattle area since 1997 in different configurations, both acoustic and electric. The current lineup features combinations of guitarists Austin-transplant Travis Hartnett, Portland-transplant Travis Metcalf, and Canadian-transplant Derek DiFilippo playing acoustic and electric guitars and basses. All members of the Roadshow sing.
The current lineup has just recorded and released a box set (three CDs – 45 songs!) music from their recent live repertoire.
The first CD ("Roadshow") features fifteen original acoustic math-pop short story songs arranged for multiple voices, multiple guitars, drums and percussion.
The second CD ("Naïve Melodies") features fifteen obscure but familiar songs clothed in unique arrangements for multiple voices and multiple guitars.
The third CD ("Knotwork") features fifteen instrumental ambient acoustic guitar interludes and remixed arrangements of new, historic, and select songs from the Steve Ball Roadshow live repertoire
