On the road with Steven Fiore
Steven Fiore had church music on his mind earlier this week.
On tour with Jay Clifford, the Charleston-bred musician played Coffee Underground in Greenville, S.C., Monday night which has church pews for seating.
"It does make me want to play Jesus songs, but other than that it's cool," Fiore joked.
The duo is playing smaller, intimate venues on a tour that will bring them to Chapel Hill's Mansion 462 this Friday and Saturday.
Fiore recently recorded a full-length album, Etiquette, in a Raleigh studio.
"We went to this three story house in Raleigh with all this equipment. The nicest things you could imagine recording with," Fiore said.
He said he wasn't going for one sound or another on the album.
"I don’t really like going for anything when I write. When I try to go for a certain style … your manager will say 'Oh write songs like this,' then you try to gear yourself towards that style and it ends up coming out forced or contrived," he said. "The other stuff just came to me because it’s supposed to. The way I wrote this record was I took whatever came to me."
For a sample of music from the new album, check out "Why Do You Waste Your Time" on Fiore's MySpace page. Fiore said he expects to release Etiquette at a show at The Music Farm in Charleston on June 6 where he and his band, Steven Fiore and the Good People, will open for Slow Runner.
Tickets for the shows in Chapel Hill May 2 and 3 are $10 each and available through etix.

Bio
There is no interesting story to be told. In fact, I would venture to say that most of the pointless drivel you read just below the words ABOUT (insert band name here) on every band's myspace page probably never happened. I haven't defined a sound or changed a genre. I wrote some songs and asked some friends to play along. We are simply what we believe to be Good People, playing what we believe to be good music.
Ps. This is all a lie! Come back again in a few weeks to get the true epic tale.
THIS JUST IN!
As a young boy, Steven Fiore is tricked by Ganondorf, the King of the Gerudo Thieves. The evil human uses Steven to gain access to the Sacred Realm, where he places his tainted hands on Triforce and transforms the beautiful Hyrulean landscape into a barren wasteland. Steven is determined to fix the problems he helped to create, so with the help of Rauru he travels through time gathering the powers of the Seven Sages.
