Stephen Lomas - ?grunts & guitars?.... Here you'll find strong, substantive songs driven by a powerful guitar accompaniament, mirroring a depth of experience portrayed with integrity. Within his music you will find the honesty of traditional folk, the insight of Dylan & the funky swagger of The Pogues, The Band, David Lindley & maybe a bit of Tom Petty.... Borne by words more spoken than sung, Stephen's song writing is sometimes partnered with a magic guitar pallete of open tunings & shimmering slide.

Borne by words more spoken than sung, Stephen's song writing is sometimes partnered with a magic guitar pallete of open tunings & shimmering slide. Other times he withdraws to guitar & harmonica & with assistance from some exceptional friends, Lomas explores a simpler style evoking that ?folk -rock -country? thing.
Stephen Lomas developed his music & released his first cd "Mermaids" during a (very) long residence in California. He returned to his native Australia in late 2004 & released his cd "Sinbad Ranch" in 2006.
