Steve Addabbo

(New York, NY ) Multi-talented musical polymath Steve Addabbo – singer, songwriter, musician, producer, engineer, and studio ace extraordinaire – steps out of the shadows with Out Of Nothing, the first solo album of his long and storied career, and the newest long-player to emerge from his Shelter Island Sound studios in midtown Manhattan. Out Of Nothing benefits from guest appearances by a stellar round of friends that Addabbo has made along the way. Folk hero Eric Andersen (and his violinist Michele Gazich) and young folk/Americana boomers Anthony da Costa and Caitlin Canty, master jazz bassist John Patitucci, fellow journeyman Larry Campbell and his bassist Byron Isaacs, alt-country dark horse Ana Egge, and respected New York session drummer Steve Holly (ex-Paul McCartney & Wings) are just a few who are along for the ride. Out Of Nothing is as much a tribute to Addabbo’s chops as a musician – on vocals, guitars, slide guitar, lap steel, bass, piano, electric piano, and Hammond B-3 organ (along with drum programming, percussion, and a string arrangement on the instrumental “Bea’s Theme” for mom) – as it is to his abilities as a songwriter, with an intuitive grasp on what makes a great tune. With its playlist of original compositions, Out Of Nothing is solidly rooted in the rock, folk and country streams in which Addabbo has been trucking ever since he was a teenager.
