Nice Job Steve! You've got a great vocal delivery and tone! The guitar is great too. It's so nice to hear a song where it's just voice and guitar and it sounds just awesome. You've got this one nailed for sure Steve. With talent like this I have no doubt that you'll be making a long and successful career in the biz. Nice job!! :D

Steve, Thanks for giving me the chance to check out this track. Right off the bat I'll say it's refreshing to hear a song presented in such a no-bullshit straight forward way. The performance is convincing.I get the impression on first listen that this is a very personal piece for you.

Indie Music Review!!!!!!!
Posted: Dec 18, 2009
A new Review from Beeb Ashcroft!

Steve Dafoe tears it up on the memorable hard rock cut �East Of Eden West Of Hell�. Solidly written with excellent guitar licks and some standout solos, Dafeo shreds with expertise on here. It's little wonder that this singer-songwriter has already gotten his work featured on a number of TV and film projects. My only critique with this cut is the fact that the vocals almost sounded a little too restrained � I was expecting it to be more in-your-face in the same way that the riffs were. But you should definitely check this song out � and when you hear it on a movie soundtrack later, you can say �I heard it when�.

Last time I visited your site after we had reviewed each other, I made comment on the amazing # of songs you had, I think it was a little over a 100. I inquired as to how you could be so prolific, and you replied, "it just means no University for the kids", funny! And now you have 156, unbelievable!!!

I listened to your top 3 songs, very good material, well performed.

I hope you have a great 09 musically, all the best to you.

Beautiful Review of "End Of The Road" !!
Posted: May 20, 2008
Bruce Bednarchuk says

Mr. Samuel Bivens, a jazz trumpeter from my past once told me that in blues/jazz, "simplicity is beauticity", and I have never forgotten that. This piece, as simply played as it is, holds the very essence that is and is supposed to be "The Blues". Thank you for a very un-complicated listen.
The only one I have is that I wanted it to be longer and that I didn't get the gig with you. BB/NPM

Dear Steve,

I've been listening to some of your other songs, great stuff!
I especially like your jazz and bluesy pieces . I think it's great how versatile you are, so many different moods. I look forward to listening to more of your work. Interesting that you have been connected to Al Rita and NBT records also. I don't really know John well but Al and I have been working on projects together for years now. I really like him a lot. Best of luck with all your ventures, you have a very impressive body of work!

"SEEING THROUGH HIS PAIN TO THE BOTTOM OF A BOTTLE....." Southern Rock, good voice, good topic, good insight, I can hear all the potential for this with instrumentation, but the real truth is right here on the acoustic version. It stands up and this is really good

Recording is clear, I like the vocal. great work





Harrison Wong
Hawaii, USA

On "THROUGH TO YOU"..........

A pleasing song with an infectious melody and great vocal. A crossover pop/country/acoustic song that should appeal to many tastes.

Despite no stunning musical hook or profound lyrics, there is enough originality and simplicity to deliver a light and satisfying musical experience. My kind of music.





Paul Sandberg

I checked out some of your material, and really enjoyed Desert Sun - magnificent in its simplicity and truth.

Review of "STAY WITH ME"
Posted: Mar 31, 2008
Beautiful, I loved your lyrics and it reminded me of my life during times of hard times and prayers I prayed. Your vocals are flowing and rich. It made me miss that it was instrumentally kind of raw simple sound. It's like I've heard you before, reminded me of of pure love.

Nice bluesy feel, vocal is good, recording quality is good. very upfront. It sounds alot like the acoustic Lynyrd Skynyrd Disc
Really like this...the sparse instrumentation shows off the talent you have without a lot of bells and whistles...great work, keep it up!!!
Great earthy gritty guitar and vocals. Engaging Lyrics

Hello Steve,

Many thanks for the feedback and especially the info about your "history"!

Release The Endorphins was a lot of fun to make. Since us Peek boys live so
far apart it was great to get together for the recording sessions.

You have certainly got into a "fine mess"...

I have enjoyed visiting your very professional website and listening to your
music. You have a great catalogue. In particular I liked your album
Windsail.

- I just sent a separate email to you with complimentary links to my latest
release Granada Rain. Hope you like it.

It's great to hear your son is a fan of yours! I wrote the track, Michael's
Song (from Granada Rain) with my Grandson sitting on my lap. He would lay is
fingers across the strings while I worked on the song... you can't start too
young.

Regards,
Tom Peek
