STREAM/SHARE 3rd SINGLE
'THE WEEKEND' HERE
Vancouver musician Steve Maddock shares his new album Jack Of All Trades out now on all digital streaming platforms via Salt Spring Records. Listen here.
To celebrate the album release, Steve is also releasing 'The Weekend' as the 3rd single following the release of previous singles 'Holy Man' and 'A Special Kind Of Love'. A light and playful bossa nova, 'The Weekend' is a song about being in a long-term relationship and trying to bring back the love from the start.
"I wrote this song about a couple getting away from their normally busy lives in the hopes of rekindling the feelings they had for each other when they first met," says 'The Weekend' songwriter Mike Reveley.
Jack Of All Trades is a joint venture between Steve Maddock and Mike Reveley. Mike is a former Vancouver jazz arranger/composer who founded the Capilano University Jazz Studies Program where Steve studied.
"I was delighted when Mike asked me if I’d be interested in singing some of his tunes for this album project," says Steve. "Jack of All Trades is a very fitting title. I consider myself to be a bit of a vocal chameleon, as I love to sing in a number of musical styles, and Mike is a true compositional chameleon, with the ability to write in just about any style imaginable: jazz, country, blues, funk, latin, pop, you get the idea. If I were to look for Jack of All Trades in a record store (remember those?!), I wouldn’t know what section to look in, which is a wonderful thing!"
Over the past two decades, Steve Maddock has been steadily establishing himself as one of Canada’s most versatile vocal talents. Whether sharing a concert stage with a 65-piece symphony orchestra, performing with a 10-piece show band on a cruise ship, or fronting a jazz trio in a local club, he’s able to change gears effortlessly and present the music in a way that’s honest and fresh. Steve’s first love is jazz, but he is equally at home with blues, pop and musicals.
Steve is currently on the Jazz Faculty of Capilano University where he has taught private voice, vocal jazz masterclass, studio performance, vocal improvisation and ear training. He works as an adjudicator and clinician at many different Canadian music festivals.
Jack Of All Trades is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Bandcamp, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit stevemaddock.com.
