Seasick Steve is a genuine trainhopping, jailbirding, cowboying, carnival working, migrant farm picking, occassional tramping, near-fatal heart attack surviving, old hobo. The real deal.
Steve was invited to leave his home before his 14th birthday and having spent many hours listening to stories from the hobos, tramps and bums who would come by his childhood home asking for work or just a handout. He reckoned he was ready for a life on the rails. So making up a "bindle" (sleeping roll and some clothes etc.) and not forgetting his guitar, headed off into the sunset. Sounds romantic? For the most part it was not!
Sleeping ruff. Going hungry. Working for handouts. Eating at the missions. Riding the rails. Playing on street corners, for your small change and MANY a free stay in the county jails of America, and this is the "G" rated version!!! But there was those moments. Stories told and heard in the "jungle camps". Scraps of old songs picked up. Food for song? You bet! Seasick Steve's music is so out of it and old fashioned that that it somehow arrives at modern. His audiences have been mainly younger who are into the Fat Possum sounds of R.L.Burnside or bands like the White Stripes. His music is full of sweat and blood and a wry humour and of course "the blues". It has been earned over a lifetime. There's not many Seasick Steve's around anymore.
