In 2024, Steve and his wife Elisabeth took a road trip across America where
he witnessed the poverty and divisiveness in the context of the upcoming
election. They were in a New Orleans club where a house band leader
welcomed two Belgian musicians on stage by saying “welcome to the last
season of America.”
This became the theme for the rest of their road trip and led to him
writing the title track to the new album.
A deeply personal, heartfelt reflection on the state of his home nation,
The Last Season of America is a protest record in the truest sense.
