(Subtitle, “WTF was that?”) So I know that this is coming a little late. It had been intended as a New Years message, but… I’ve been on vacation. Seriously. No schedule. In my case this means my panic attacks have very little structure upon which to hang themselves, so… there’s that. But I have more… More »

New Music for the Holidays
Hey. Wanna hear something I haven’t shared with anyone else yet? I mean, it’s not quite done and I might change the whole thing around. But still, maybe let’s call it my little early present for you – a song still in process. This song had its inspiration a few years ago. My friend Mark… More »
Home (a song is born)
Wishing a very happy December to you all in this very strange year! Times have been hard all over. The regular challenges of life are even more trying in isolation, and with the regular remedies made more difficult or unavailable. Nonetheless, even in these odd times there are things that bring a little joy and… More »
A New Era – Launching the Chris Steele music page.
Hi, everyone. I hope you are all well and are finding some light in these interesting times. Here in Massachusetts, we just had our first snowfall, preceding Halloween by a day.

The Journey Home
I’ve been a little silent for the past few weeks. I mean I’ve been playing some great virtual gigs and recording (and re-recording) A LOT, but have not been doing a lot of writing. I think that’s about to change, but I do want to share something I wrote during a trip down to NJ… More »
Two Years
September 5, 2018 was a pretty momentous day for me. I spent most of that Wednesday pretty completely freaked out. Anxious beyond all belief – and for me that’s kind of saying something, as I spend most of my life in some degree of worry or anxiety. However, this was a deliberately sought-out source of… More »
The Joy of Collaboration
For the past several hours, I have been listening to something that is giving me great joy. The narcissistic fact about this is that it is one of my own songs: “Pulling Nails”. The reason it’s making me so happy is that I am hearing it in ways that I have not been able to… More »
2020 Can Go Suck It
2020 Can Go Suck It So far, 2020 is a year when I can’t see people I love, when I can’t hear the music live that I want to hear, when the world is falling apart at the seams, and when tyranny has become the rule of the day. A year when the resurgence from… More »
