Steve Hillier is a U.S. keyboard player and vocalist, who has a focus on creating music that blurs the lines between various styles. Wintertime opens with two blues-rock tunes that have elements of progressive rock and jazz. It then dives into a jazz fusion instrumental and ends with a jazz-rock song heavily influenced by progressive rock. He is always eager to explore new creative avenues and set the bar higher with top-level musicianship and quality production.
As with his first EP Moving Star, the music is international. Mike Benson and Mason Rosenfeld are from the United States. Steve Giddings and Glenn Welman are from the United Kingdom. Mike N. and Zamm Kenoby are from France. Rafael Frietas is from Brazil and C J De Rosa is from the Netherlands. Francesco Coppola Bove and Dee Wolf are from Italy.
The digital cover art for the EP Wintertime, as well as the EP singles Musician’s Blues and Nightwatch, are by the Italian artist Leraynne S, who adds another dimension to the music.
