About Steve

For more than forty-five years, Steve Glotzer has taken his guitar to clubs, festivals, and concert stages across the country, playing a style that is entirely his own — a warm blend of folk, Latin, jazz, acoustic, and blues. Critics have called it “Wes Montgomery meets Bruce Cockburn”: guitar-driven wanderlust, breezy sambas, and sophisticated urban blues.

Along the way, he has opened shows for artists including Delbert McClinton, Blues Traveler, Dr. John, Larry Coryell, David Grisman, Bo Diddley, Son Seals, David Wilcox, Sonia Dada, Roger McGuinn, John Cowan, and Richard Elliot, among many others.

Steve has released ten albums to date, most recently Scarlet Embrace on Blue Night Records. As a composer, his music has also found its way into film and television, from Oprah and The Bachelor to Sony Pictures’ Friends with Money and the MGM feature A Guy Thing.— a full list of his screen credits appears on IMDb.
