DERRINGER DISCOVERIES

ARTIST: Steve Slagg

LOCATION: Chicago, IL (USA)

FEATURED: Episode 22

From the artist's website:

Singer-songwriter Steve Slagg has self-released music since 2011, both as Youngest Son and under his own name, in addition to playing keyboards for ten years with Chicago powerpop mainstays Mooner. Slagg’s tender, funny and beautifully complex songs explore faith, queer sexuality, and the beauty of the natural world. His third album Strange Flesh is the culmination of Slagg’s life as a musician and his existence as a queer person in faith communities. A lot of these songs’ “I”s are really “we”s, and in their triumphs and tragedies, love and rage, excommunication and communion, they aim for truth, whether through memoir or fiction. 

From Team Derringer:

Steve is an eclectic and talented singer/songwriter. His lyrics are compelling and guide the listener along the highs and lows of his self-discovery. Team Derringer greatly enjoys Steve's poignant and, at times, humorous songs.
