Search - Stephen Hedley :: Scenes

Stephen Hedley is one of those singer-songwriters whose music defies easy comparisons. Brought up in Windsor, Ontario, Hedley grew up only minutes from the Ambassador bridge which connects Windsor to it's U.S. counterpart, Detroit, Michigan. With a clear signal from Detroit's massive radio market, Stephen enjoyed a diverse diet of Otis Redding, Jeff Buckley, Stevie Wonder, Nick Drake, Marvin Gaye, The Stooges, U2, Neil Young, Philip Glass and everything in between. His debut CD Scenes reflects many of these influences, from the soulful falsetto of Yellow Dog to the achingly beautiful Why Can't You Be Satisfied to the sing-along rock choruses and disco undertones of the title track Scenes. Stephen's intuitive sense of melody, and his ability to bring together such diverse influences in the context of a pop song makes his debut CD an album that is both immediately gratifying and one that can be returned to time and time again.
