I Think Of You I Think Of You
Everybody tells me that I sound like John Lennon in this song. I'm sure that my George Harrison-sounding slide guitar playing also helps people feel that way!
Beautiful Soul Beautiful Soul
I Hope It's You I Hope It's You
A Simpler Life A Simpler Life
This song was written for the new sitcom featuring those cavemen from the Geiko commercials.

Steve Barden heard the Beatles' first performance on the Ed Sullivan Show and hasn't been the same since. It's no wonder why the Beatles' music has had such a lasting influence on Steve's music.
Steve began playing guitar at the age of nine. He has studied guitar at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, and has studied composition in film scoring at UCLA. Steve has performed with bands throughout the 70's, 80's, and 90's until he got tired of lugging equipment around. Now, armed with a personal recording studio, Steve is able to fulfill his dreams of writing music and having it performed just as he hears it in his head.
Steve is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, Dobro, mandolin, ukulele (almost any stringed instrument!), piano, flute, harmonica, and sings. As a singer-songwriter, Steve began writing songs in the mid-70's. But as he focused on his guitar technique, recording skills, and all-around charm, it wasn't until the 21st century that Steve began to focus on songwriting again. His first full-length CD of original songs was released in 2007 entitled "Tallulah Lake", a 14 song collection that includes 3 instrumental pieces.
Steve's background in composing, arranging, orchestrating, and performing most of the instruments on the album has allowed him to express himself in a way that compliments the deeply personal songs on the album. Steve is looking forward to sharing his music with the world.
His new album, Tallulah Lake, can be found on CD Baby ().Your musical influences

Hi Steve,
Rich (Doodle) sent me your way. Awesome! Love the Beatley sounds. Definitely Lennon sounding and the slide is icing on the cake. Like the synthesizer keys sounds very much like Lennon. Your slide is deadon. My brother Jim can play slide I tried once and well I gave up rather quickly. LOL! Nice work. I will be back when I have some more time to check out the rest of your songs.
the beatles have been a big influence to me as well. I recently watched 'Across the Universe,' a musical movie featuring all beatles music with all kinds of subtle beatle-esq things all through the movie that only beatles far would get, if you haven't seen it check it out. My latest song 'Another Time.' was influenced partially by that film
