Biography
Musical beginnings from the everglades of Florida to the red clay of south Georgia, passing through Atlanta and on into the Great Smoky Mountains, making a side trip through the Carolinas to Virginia and Kentucky and resting in Nashville. The smell of honey suckle, a sip of a mint julep, the beauty of one red rose and the sound of fiddle and steel. That's right, you've got it…the music of PJ Steelman.
PJ's sound is kind of like Frank Sinatra meeting Janis Joplin. They were introduced to each other by Willie Nelson….at a Mickey Newberry concert. He's a songwriter and sings just well enough to get his songs across. If you are into singer/songwriter…where the heart hits home, you will love PJ Steelman.
He is currently affiliated with Fat Walter Music, Sound Determination Music and records with Blue Cypress Records.
The next CD, 2010, is recorded and is currently being mixed and mastered. It is slated for a late summer release. PJ has had the opportunity to work with some incredible co writers on this year's release, Christian Kohran, Olivia Raney, Little Jimmy Jenkins and Airen Templeton.
He has performed at festivals, fairs and clubs all over the southeast including Bristol's Rhythm and Roots, the St Patrick's Day Festival in Savannah, GA, the Festival By The Creek in Ivanhoe, VA, the Jamboree By The Lake in Winchester, Nashville Songwriters Festival (where PJ was the emcee for the Tin Roof stage), The Old Mill Resort and Convention Center, Roan Mt Convention Center…plus a million other wonderful clubs too numerous too mention(but, we would it we had the space).
PJ does a lot of benefit work, too. He has worked with the Children's Miracle Network, The Red Cross and St Jude's. They are always trying to lend a hand where ever they can.
