Guitars, Pedal Steel, Mixing

Steve delivered some great slide parts! Really elevated the track. Looking forward to working with him again!

It’s obvious from a short listen what a talented instrumentalist Steve is. The things that really set him apart from his peers are his exceptional listening skills, and his ability to inspire an artist and a collaborative spirit in a session. He has an uncanny ability to set the table for magic in the studio. ALSO - a great friggin’ guy to boot.

Steve was great to work with. Great player good ears, crafty licks and great ideas from the producers chair as well. The consumate professional

I have worked with Steve on several of my original songs and he exemplifies true musicianship while being a complete professional (and a good human being to boot) It is a absolute honor to make music with Steve and I hope to continue to do so going forward.

Steve is an extraordinary talent and genuine good dude. Masterful player, engineer and producer. Erin Ross and I had an amazing experience recording at The Henhouse in Nashville. Steve’s orbit includes the most world class session musicians and the tones he gets are deep and soulful.

Steve Dawson is an extraordinarily gifted and versatile musician. Being as well a songwriter, engineer, and producer allows Steve a broad and nuanced perspective of any project’s scope; and he is an unfailingly inventive and generous collaborator. I find myself turning to Steve less for any particular instrument he might play, and more for the expanse of his experience and humanity that he brings to the table. And worth noting: beyond his virtuosic ability at so many stations, he’s also willing to play less than almost any great player I know —and that egoless restraint is priceless.
