Steve Key
Former editor
sings folk songs
at Woodsmoke
Contemporary folksinger Steve Key, hailed by Baltimore critic Geoffrey Himes as “one of the most promising additions to the folk coffeehouse circuit,” is currently on tour in support of his latest album, “New Hope.”
He will appear at the Woodsmoke Cafe in Sperryville at 8:80 p.m. on Friday, May 10.
A former editor and reporter for community weekly newspapers, Steve Key now writes songs the way he used to write feature stories.
Serious and sentimental ballads are mixed with lighter fare, such as an ode to oat bran. Key enjoys leading sing-alongs and introducing audiences to a wide variety of folksingers, from Woody Guthrie to Christine Lavin.
Mr. Key has been singing professionally since the mid-1970s, but his career as a folksinger began in 1986 with performances in Greenwich Villages clubs and recordings for the Fast Folk label.
He released his first album, “Between Trains,” in 1989 and appeared in folk venues from Maine to Miami.
A native of Brooklyn, Key currently resides in Washington, D.C., with his wife Karen Heller and two cats.
