We had a great time at Sam's Burger Joint recently opening for 70s rockers Wishbone Ash as part of its 50th Anniversary Tour.
STRINGMAN (Don Stephens), a veteran musician with '60s and '70s rock roots, is currently touring his unique solo Stringman show featuring original rock, acoustic and blues music. Stringman may include a smattering of covers from the likes of Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Roky Erickson, Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, etc. A Stringman show engages audiences with powerful music, and he creates a friendly and humorous atmosphere that is enjoyable to all.
When playing his electric numbers, Don uses several instruments simultaneously, i.e., vocals, harmonica, bass pedals, guitar, and electronic drums to sound like a 3-piece rock and blues power trio. In addition, his acoustic portion of the show includes songs on acoustic guitar, guitjo, pump organ, harmonica, and piano.
If not the most prolific songwriter, Stringman is certainly among the top of the list with 19 albums written and recorded to date, and an equal number of unrecorded songs that continue to pile up… Stringman’s albums are available on all online streaming services under artist names “Stringman Delivery”, “Don Stephens Stringman Delivery”, and “Don Stephens”. His music is heard worldwide to positive reviews.
For a fun and musically powerful evening, check out STRINGMAN. (Please refer to videos on the attached EPK.)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING A NEIL YOUNG SHOW:
In 1971, Don Stephens, aka Stringman, heard a Neil Young bootleg album from a solo concert tour that took place one year prior to the release of Harvest in 1972. This concert bootleg had such a strong impact on Don that he dedicated himself to learning to play the guitar and piano and to persist in seeing where it might take him.
Through the years his music is still strongly influenced by, and is often compared to, Neil Young in performance and song writing styles.
Although Stringman shows primarily feature original rock/blues/acoustic music, Don has decided to veer off the path and perform an all-acoustic show in honor of his “mentor” Neil Young featuring Neil’s classic songs from 1967 to 1978.

Sample Reviews
“Don takes his influences from the likes of Neil Young, the Byrds and Tom Petty. He’s got some good tunes under his belt – more than enough to make fans of heartland rock very happy indeed." – Stuart Hamilton
"A quintet from Texas fronted by a guy called Don Stephens (who wrote each song) who are very retro American folk kind of a way to put it, but with a laid back rock style about them too... Overall think Bob Dylan and Neil Young!” - Glen Milligan
“From San Antonio, TX, we find classic rock blues artist Stringman Delivery… that is well worth checking out and borders between Americana, rock and blues through to melodic pop, and songs that flow with majestic passion. Singer Don Stephens has a fantastic diverse voice that is somewhere between Don Henley, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson, John Cougar Mellencamp, Neil Young and the late Dan Peek.” – Nicky Baldrian
