"Amidst parties and the usual Friday night revelry, another kind of entertainment was happening not far from the JMU bubble. In Harrisonburg’s newest coffeehouse, Cups-to-Go, a crowd gathered for the venue’s first "Battle of the Bands."...In every music festival, there is at least one solo act, and in this case, that act was junior Steve Courson. With nine years of experience on piano and four and a half years with the guitar, Courson is no newbie to the stage — he’s been performing for about as long as he has been playing guitar. With influences such as Incubus, Elliot Smith and Our Lady Peace, Courson’s own style is just as diverse as the groups he listens to. "None of my songs sound the same because you can’t just stick to the same genre," he said..."

Bio
Steve Courson has been playing music in one form or another for as long as he can remember. His ability to take you from smooth, haunting piano and guitar melodies to hard hitting rock riffs and everything in between keeps you listening because it keeps you guessing. It is hard to predict where he will go next but you can’t wait to get there. He is constantly writing new songs and exploring new directions.
Recently, Courson has been gaining credibility as a songwriter as "Goodnight" has been featured in a pitch for Visa's new "Life Takes Visa" ad campaign. The song will also represent East Coast music on the new compilation CD from QuickStar Productions called, "Chill Out-East Coast Edition." As Courson continues to gain momentum in the industry, be on the lookout for his music, as well as a full length album in the near future.
