It has been several months since my last newsletter to you, my loyal subscribers. Since the beginning of the year my songs have been played over 250,000 times on N1M, and the total count is now over 660,000. WOW! I am extremely grateful I your continued support. My most recent recording last month ‘Making Memories of Us’, has had over 10,000 plays this month. This song was composed by Rodney Crowell and made popular by Keith Urban. It received critical acclaim from Steve Azami (RadioAirPlay).
“California based recording artist Steve Olson delivers a stirring rendition of the Keith Urban ballad, "Making Memories of Us." Originally penned by Rodney Crowell and included on Urban's 2004 album Be Here, this tune is the perfect vehicle for Olson's tender, expressive voice and keen picking skills. He gives an exceptional vocal performance here, pledging his undying love through Crowell's heartfelt lyrics, effectively making them his own. Sparse instrumentation is enhanced by liberal use of reverb, providing a rich and full sound while retaining its intimate character. Steve Olson's version of "Making Memories of Us" will certainly appeal to fans of the original, as well as any singer/songwriter enthusiasts.”

Update from Steve Olson

I want to express my sincere gratitude to my subscribers for your support. I have just heard that I have been selected Number One Music promotion in the ‘New Artist’ category. Last summer I received notification from the World Songwriting Awards that I was a finalist with my song ‘Let The Sun Shine Down On Us’ and for the Fall period a finalist for ‘Losing Hand’. I have been working on new songs during this time of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and developing for expertise in music production with my DAW. I have re-mixed most of my songs as my skills have improved. Thank you for listening to my music. It is very much appreciated. Steve

I want to express my sincere gratitude to my subscribers for your support. I have added a few songs to my list. The most recent one is ‘Most People Are Good’, a cover written by David Frasier, Ed Hill & Josh Kear. I also rerected and restored a past recording of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' by Paul Simon. I have a few covers of songs written and by the late and great Jim Croce, ‘I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song’, ‘Operator’, ‘Time in a Bottle’ and ‘Photographs and Memories’. I will be co-wronte the music to 'What Could Have Been', lyrics by Clare Steffen. Also, I recorded ‘Do I’, Witten by Charles Kelley, Dave Harwood and Luke Bryan. These are primarily acoustic recordings with electronic keyboard, electric guitar and mandolin. I have other projects at work that I am working on. The percussion tracks have been generated from loops in my DAW, but all other tracks were recorded by me. Thank you for listening to my music. It is very much appreciated. Steve
