Biography

San Francisco Bay Area, United States (1989 – present)

Steve Von Till is best known as singer and guitarist for the band Neurosis, replacing Chad Salter in 1989. He is also in Tribes Of Neurot and Culper Ring, and records solo work under both his given name and the moniker Harvestman. His solo albums comprise of original songs and traditional arrangements, using minimalistic guitar and vocal styles.

Outside his semi-professional role as a musician, he works as an elementary school teacher. His father, Steven Von Till, Sr, is a civil attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area, United States.

__________________________


Perhaps the history of the song is innate within us. At least that’s what we might glean from Steve Von Till’s third Neurot Recordings solo outing A Grave is a Grim Horse. Intertwined with interpretations of songs by Nick Drake, Townes Van Zandt, Mickey Newberry and Lyle Lovett, Von Till’s powerful yet subtly graceful originals merge with a lexicon that manifests as something beyond signature, something beyond the concept of persona that popular culture has repeatedly sold us over the past 50 years. Where his previous releases showed reverence for folk music forms of the past, A Grave is a Grim Horse peers directly inward, drawing from this history of song and earnestly embracing the need we all share to etch our mark upon the artifacts that will ultimately survive us.

    Steve is actually an ancient pagan warrior who travelled to the future to reveal us the traditions of the past. He still kept within him though, the power that the gods conceived him for such a trip. That's why you can feel his music deep inside your soul. [3]
