Steve’s love affair with music probably began more seriously
around the age of 10 with The Beatles. At that same time, for
Christmas, he received his very first guitar (actually a plastic
‘Beatles’ guitar). A proper Spanish/Classical guitar followed soon
after and Steve has been playing guitar ever since. Around age 15
Steve decided to give the bass guitar a try, fell in love with it and it
remains his primary instrument.
Steve has played in many bands over the years (both original and
covers) and in various genres including Rock/Pop, Jazz, Blues,
Soul/Funk and Country music though is perhaps mostly known for
his work with LANDMARQ, the Progressive Rock band he helped
form in 1990. Musical influences are many and include Joni
Mitchell, The Beatles, Rufus Wainwright, Kate Bush, Steely Dan,
Little Feat, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Pat Metheny, Weather Report…”

LANDMARQ
Entertaining Angels (2012) Although Landmarq managed to release two live albums plus a live DVD, recorded in Poland, “Entertaining Angels” was the band’s first studio album in over 10 years. However, it was worth the wait and received glowing reviews and was hailed as their best yet. (Steve Gee: various basses, b/vocals) “(Entertaining Angels) ...a triumph...full of power and passion...” - Geoff Barton, Editor, 'Classic Rock' magazine, UK Live version of title track “Entertaining Angels” (Youtube)
ESP PROJECT
Invisible Din (2016) Composer, producer, guitarist Tony Lowe’s ESP project has since spawned three more albums with various line-ups. Invisible Din was the one that started this particular ball rolling and featured some well known names from the world of Prog and Rock (see above). (Steve Gee: fretted & fretless basses) “Evocative and ambitious.…From the first moments of Overture it’s apparent that we’re dealing with quality…Stylistically, this is solid classic/symphonic prog.” GMM – PROG January 2017 Video montage of songs from “Invisible Din” (Youtube)
THE SYN
Original Syn 1965-2004 (2005) A precursor to Yes, The Syn was the band where Peter Banks first teamed up with Chris Squire. Banks and original vocalist Steve Nardelli reunited as a progressive rock band in 2004 with producer/keys player Gerard Johnson and guitarist Paul Stacey and recorded the above 2-CD album which also included a new re-working of the Yes classic “Time and a Word”. (Steve Gee: fretted & fretless basses on CD#2) “Time and a Word/A Tide in the Affairs of Men/Reprise”
