Recently relocated to St Petersburg, Florida, Steve Balesteri has quickly found his place in the Tampa Bay music scene. After years of honing his craft in his hometown of Buffalo, NY, where he had been performing full time for over 10 years, Steve decided to make his favorite vacation spot his permanent residence. His brand of upbeat, feel-good vibes combined with his warm, soulful voice are the perfect match for the Sunshine State and have allowed him to easily transition to the new market.
Having been performing for most of his life, Steve has a huge range of influences, which can be seen in his ever-growing repertoire of music. His song list covers everything from current radio hits to all the classics you know and love and (nearly) everything in-between. From Pop to Country to Rock to R&B to Jazz, Steve flows seamlessly between styles, infusing each with his own signature sound.
During his time in Buffalo, Steve developed his show in a number of configurations ranging from a solo act all the way up to a 9-piece band called The Uptown Sound, allowing him to perform at countless weddings and events around the region. Since moving to the Tampa Bay area, Steve primarily performs as a “one man band”” solo act, which consists of Steve on vocals and guitar accompanied by layers of beatboxed percussion, harmonies, bass and guitar loops. The result is a high energy show perfect for a huge range of events with the ability to cater to nearly any venue and audience.
