Songwriter Steve Mardon

I'm a songwriter who plays acoustic guitar. I like to mix up the song styles — basically it's a blend of country, folk and blues. My influences range from Gram Parsons to Graham Parker. In August 2007, I moved from Somerville, Mass., to New Orleans.

I've written about 50 songs. My tunes tend to be funny — they're not always meant to be but that's the way they come out.
