Live Music-Steve Vaclavik

Deeply rooted in the Americana tradition, Steve Vaclavik has managed to create his own genre of music. You take equal parts Americana, Country, Rock, and Folk, mix it all up and you get a tasty, self-styled format he likes to call ‘Twang-Rock’. His music has been described as somewhat moody (in a woeful kind of way) and at times lighthearted with a driving, in-your-face delivery that draws in an audience. Hiawassee resident Vaclavik is a troubadour in the tradition of Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt. His songs are full of the truth as seen by ordinary people. These people often tend to be life’s underdogs, and Steve has the special gift to capture their perspectives on the world with genuine understanding. His words, full of humor and insight, are the essence of his music, but his Dylan-esque vocals and spare guitar playing provide a fitting framework that rings true and clear. When covering other artists, Vaclavik likes to play familiar favorites and off the dial gems.
