STEVEN ARCHDEACON ---Songsalive! New York Coordinator
Steve Archdeacon is a singer/songwriter, guitarist, and independent recording artist and performing musician based in Stony Brook, NY. He was introduced to Songsalive! at the TAXI Music Conference when he attended one of Gilli Moon's seminars and shortly after became a member. His MAIN passion in life is MUSIC and strongly believes that if we all help each other out in our life-long quest as artists then you really can't go wrong because we will all benefit in the long run. He also enjoys motivating others to do their very best in life as you only get back what you put into it. He is on the NEW cover of the Indie Bible 9 (same pic as above) thanks to Songsalive!, and has traveled to England to play at the Cavern where the Beatles became famous. He has also performed in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, among many other places. He hopes to bring people together with Songsalive! and create more of a community of songwriters in the NY Chapter. He also raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project, which is an organization that helps out soldiers wounded in battle.
