Steve Durr is a singer/songwriter who lives Up the tracks from Talkeetna Alaska. Steve is well known for his colorful Alaskan ballads of rivers, ravens, taverns, and tents. His soulful ballads are a reflection of the heart and mind of a human being in search of humanity in himself and the world. "I don't write for 'markets.' I write about where I live, and the people and times I've known these last thirty-seven years in Alaska."
Steve is a central figure in the Alaskan folk scene. His songs are known for their poetic perception, humorous, as well as soulful insights, and the unique guitar and vocal stylings that he brings to his music.
During the short Alaskan summer Steve comes down from the hills, so to speak, and sets up camp (as in: a tent) on the banks of the Talkeetna River closer to the tiny village of Talkeetna. This is his base of operations for what he calls his "river gig." Working with the local raft company, Talkeetna River Guides, Steve performs his original Alaskan songs three times a day on the riverbank to the surprise and delight of the people going by. Though the site is not more than a mile from the town, it is still roadless and wild and Steve may be the only musician in the world who has to look out for bears as he takes the stage.
