The Steepwater Band: in the studio, tour dates

Chicago blues rock powere trio The Steepwater Band are working on a new studio album at Clava Studios. Bass player Tod Bowers:

Jeff, Joe and myself headed to the south-side of Chicago and set-up camp at Clava Studios to record a new full-length album, our follow-up to 2008's "Grace and Melody." The studio has been the home to our new songs, and we've been capturing the tunes & vibes to tape with engineer Colin Sipos, who is co-producing the record along with the band.
