Last night, I had the privilege of playing at Evanston SPACE with my friend Dave Barnes just outside Chicago. I wish you all could've been there with us! We had so much fun.
One of the most gratifying things for me as a songwriter is hearing a crowd sing a song back to me. The thing I love about simple pop songs like "Best Thing" is its ability to release people's inhibitions and unite a group of otherwise strangers. In other words, it grants everyone permission to "Act a Fool."
Nights like last night remind me of the value of music and make me feel honored to make even the most humble contributions to it.
Just thought I'd share that revelation with you as it hits me...
Thanks for listening. And more importantly, thank you for singing.

10.12.11 - iTunes Review of "Watching Time Run"
Here is what the kind folks at iTunes had to say about Steve's latest release...
With Watching Time Run Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Steve Moakler dodges any semblance of a sophomore slump by opening strong on "Waiting," a triumphantly uplifting song that flirts with Britpop's shimmering guitars and anthemic choruses. Moakler's breathy voice recalls a young Josh Rouse at times, especially in the verses of the following tune "Today" where he sings a matured sentiment over more roots-y instruments like banjo and piano. A grinding old Hammond B-3 organ is added in on "Best Thing," a track where those old classic tones are nicely contrasted with an infectiously danceable beat. Fans of this tune's noticeable groove are sure to also like "Can't Stop Thinking About You" - a bouncy ditty that recalls some of Paul Simon's groovier solo moments in the early '70s. "Why We Said Goodbye" is a standout cut wherein Moakler nicely contrasts lonely lyrics with spirited, elevating melodies. He toes the Nashville line on "Play You Down," a catchy and twangy song that could easily crossover onto the Country charts.
