Steve Bardwil Band

Steve Bardwil Band burst onto the Southern California live music scene in 2014, blending **classic rock**, soul, and blues into an authentic sound that's got fans and pros hooked with their charismatic shows. Frontman Steve Bardwil, who ditched his high-powered gig as Chief Counsel at Disney Studios—overseeing Marvel, Pixar, and more—for guitar riffs and songwriting, leads this diverse crew of stellar musicians who've shared stages with legends like Lyle Lovett, Robert Randolph, Jim Messina, Eddie Money, Donovan Frankenreiter, Robby Krieger of The Doors, and Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers.

Their 2025 debut album **Nothing But Time**, produced by 11-time Grammy winner Joe Chiccarelli at East West Studios, is a joyful, collaborative gem packed with 11 tracks of Americana, alt-rock, soul, and blues—think uplifting stories on love, compassion, and the human condition that avoid the blues and aim straight for inspiration. Recent releases like **Wonder of it All** and **Magic Night In Paris** keep the momentum rolling, with the band—featuring Johnny Stachela on guitar, Max Butler on keys, Vince Fossett on drums, Aaron Leibowitz on sax, Catherine Jayne on vocals, and bassist Frank Coglitore—back in the studio cooking up more optimistic vibes.
