Jeanette and Steve

Jeanette and Steve are a married acoustic duo featuring Steve on guitar and both Jeanette and Steve on vocals. Steve studied jazz guitar and is an experienced flat-picking guitarist and vocalist. Twenty years ago, Jeanette rediscovered her singing voice through study of cabaret performance – telling stories through song. Most recently, Jeanette has brought her kazoo playing skills into the duo’s act. Their eclectic repertoire includes original songs, obscure gems found through Steve’s diligent “song mining”, Folk songs, Blues, and 60s and 70s style rock and folk rock. Jeanette and Steve specialize in modifying lyrics, melodies, and arrangements of most of the songs in their repertoire to give an existing song a new and refreshing perspective. They have performed throughout the Philadelphia area and elsewhere, including frequent performances at Cosmic Café, Malelani Café, and Head House Café in Philadelphia, at Magikava and John and Peters in New Hope, PA, and Fiddler’s Dream in Phoenix, AZ. Jeanette and Steve were open mic and campfire hosts and performers at 2024 Misty Mountain Jam in Barto, PA and are repeating these roles in May 2025. Other 2024 Philadelphia events include performing at the Woofstock concert series at Seger Dog Park and sharing billing with MAC acts Electric Man and The Honey Badgers at The Fallser Club. Jeanette and Steve are dedicated folk enthusiasts who have consistently attended and played music in the campground at the Philadelphia Folk Festival since the 1980s. Jeanette and Steve became members of PFS’ Musical Artists Cooperative in Summer 2024.
