I'm a guitarist / songwriter living on the Lower East Side of New York City. Learned the craft of songwriting after being a screenwriter and comedy writer for 15 years. I have a juke-box playing in my head 24/7
- in 2006, all 5 of my entries in the Billboard International Songwriter's competition got honorable mentions.
i have a cd on cdbaby/itunes - I write and record as The Spitshine Kid: idiosyncratic lo fi songs of mixed genres.
- Band or Group:
- The Spitshine Kid
- Favorite Lyric:
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with
potential of a superman
And I'm livin' on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from
the great salvation
Of bullshit faith -- Bowie
- Day Job:
- screenwriter

- How I Work:
I'm primarily interested in finding musicians and occasionally singers to collaborate on some of the many songs I have written. Will consider be hired as a session lead guitarist. Rate depends on time investment and availability. Not doing this to make money.
- Experience:
played lead guitar for the New York City-based experimental improv-punk-fusion combo, Fire Camp. Album on iTunes.
i did soundtrack songs for a 16mm film I directed called, "Rat Girl".
I am also a visual artist - see complete works at: www.stevesavitz.com
i don't want to brag but i'm pretty good at trashcan basketball. i can sink a wet tea-bag at half-court.
I also do volunteer work for Slackers Without Borders.

Gibson Les Paul
Fender Strat
