Steven, who is currently working on his first new album in over 15 years which returns him to his Rhythm and Blues roots, will perform all around Europe this summer including an exclusive appearance in Ireland at Live At The Marquee in Cork on 22 June.

Amongst the most faithful musicians at the side of Bruce Springsteen since his earliest shows, Steven Van Zandt begun his solo career in the Eighties and issued 5 studio albums as Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. In April 2002 he started his weekly radio programme Little Steven’s Underground Garage, broadcasting on more than 200 stations worldwide with a two hour trip of what was cool in all six decades of Rock and Roll that also features the best emerging bands worldwide. The success of the radio show has allowed Little Steven’s Underground Garage to expand beyond the world of radio into television, live events, albums, satellite radio, and more.

After his role in The Sopranos, Steven continued his TV career: he starred, co-wrote, executive produced, provided the music supervision and scoring, and directed for Lilyhammer, which was the first original programming for Netflix, winning several international prizes. He is also a live promoter, activist and founder of the label Wicked Cool Records.
