Steve Moakler

“A soft-spoken songwriter, a la John Mayer, with a twang reminiscent of Eric Church.” – Wide Open Country

There was a moment when Steve walked out on stage of his headlining show in Chicago one of the many sold out stops on his first club tour that took his breath away. It had been a long road up to this point. After years of playing empty rooms, this was an achievement every independent artist hopes to experience one day.

For Steve Moakler, this was just the beginning.

The versatility of Steve’s music goes beyond his magnetic pull as an artist. The Pittsburgh native moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music in 2006.

A handful of odd jobs and hundreds of shows later, Steve has sold out venues across the country and topped the iTunes® charts on multiple occasions. In the last 12 months he has been named an “Artist to Watch For” by Rolling Stone Country, CMT, Bobby Bones, Huffington Post, Taste Of Country, Wide Open Country, The Shotgun Seat, New England Country Music and Nashville Lifestyles. He was recently featured on Spotify’s “Spotlight on Country 2016” playlist and the iTunes New Artist Spotlight in the country genre.

Steve continues to build a platform in the country market, working with GRAMMY® Award Winning Producer, Luke Laird (Kacey Musgraves) on his forthcoming record.

The first single off the album is “Suitcase,” (written by Luke Laird, Barry Dean and Thomas Rhett) and is currently playing on SiriusXM’s The Highway. His career as a songwriter has seen releases by artists like Jake Owen, Ashley Monroe, Kellie Pickler, Ben Rector and Native Run.

Steve’s song, “Riser” gained national attention as the title track and latest single off Dierks Bentley’s record, with Billboard Magazine naming Dierks’ performance the best moment at the 2015 ACM Awards.

It’s hard to believe it has been nearly a decade since Moakler arrived in Nashville, but if his career is any indication, he’s on the ride of his life
