Elvis Costello & Steve Nieve

Description

Elvis Costello and Steve Nieve have been cohorts and bandmates since 1977.

“Costello is one of the world’s greatest songwriters, up there with McCartney. You forget how many timeless songs he actually has until he plays them.” – Irish Independent

“Nieve is astonishing, like the ghost of George Gershwin being watched over by Philip Glass” – Irish Times

Costello and Nieve have appeared together on more than twenty-five recordings and performing on stages from the Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg to the Royal Albert Hall in London, debuting songs such as “Accidents Will Happen” and “Shot With His Own Gun” with only piano accompaniment and playing their first two-man shows in 1995, then undertaking “The Lonely World Tour” together in 2003.

Steve Nieve is a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of Elvis Costello and the Attractions and the composer of “Welcome To The Voice,” an opera written with Muriel Teodori, which was produced at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris and later recorded for Deutsche Grammophon. He has played with Elvis Costello and The Imposters since 2002.
