Steve Poltz is not normal. So begins one bio, but we can’t dispute it. Nor would he. He’s a singer-songwriter with a cult following that includes fellow musicians, regular folks and people who stumble onto his performances at festivals and become diehard fans. The AP dubbed him "part busker, part Iggy Pop and part Robin Williams, a freewheeling folkie with a quick wit and big heart.” Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, raised in San Diego, Steve’s 40 plus year touring history includes his years with his punk band The Rugburns to a creative partnership with Jewel, co-writing “You Were Meant For Me.” Super energetic both on-stage and off, Steve lives for performing, makes up songs on the spot, sings and tells stories that will having you shaking your head in disbelief. But they’re all true. He’s resumed his tireless touring schedule (he begged his agent to book him every day for a year, the agent refused), and when he comes here, Steve will say, as he does every night, “This is the best show I’ve ever played.” And heck, maybe it just will be.
