Album DescriptionSinger/Songwriter Steve Bardwil's debut album, CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF features 10 of his original songs. The instantly catchy jammin title track CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF starts a fun filled adventurous journey through not only different styles of rock music, but different emotions as well; and even makes a few stops along the way at some very exotic places. Steve's diverse musical influences range from traditional Artists such as The Eagles, The Beatles, Bob Marley, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet to newer Artists such as The Old 97's and Ryan Adams. Marc Joseph, who hails from New Orleans, has come up with a spicy blend of music styles and sounds as evidenced in the rock'n blues tune JUST BECAUSE, the reggae influenced sounds of BOMBA SHACK, the jungle vibe of the humorous CANNIBAL CAFE, the vey french flavor of SOUTH OF FRANCE, and the alternative country sound of IT'S NOT TOO LATE. Although the songs on this album are rooted with a gripping acoustic groove, they are also layered with driving drum beats and soaring electric guitar riffs. In addition these songs with their different instrumentation, emotion and style make for an eclectric collection of music and lyrics that everyone can relate to and cannot help but have fun with.
