Dear Flist,
For those of you who don't know of him, Steve Carlson is a frequent guest at spn conventions. He's written music for the show, he and Jensen co-wrote two songs on Steve's most recent album, and Jensen sang backup on two of his earlier albums. He and Jensen are very close friends.
For Christian Kane/Angel/Leverage fans: Chris and Steve have been in a band together for 12 years.
AtS trivia: remember when Lindsey sang at Lorne's bar, Caritas, with his new evil hand? It was Christian singing, but a recording of Steve playing the music. So you've heard him play, even if you didn't know it :)
Here's the thing: Steve is in a contest on a radio show, but needs votes! He's in second and third place, and as the only musician to have two songs make it into the finals, he's probably handicapped by some people splitting their votes.
As a holiday present to me (HUGE smooches in return!) please vote for him
here once per day, every day in December (or as many days as you remember about it). You can vote for BOTH of his songs at the same time - click both boxes (then hit the "vote" button).
Much love to you guys, whether or not you decide to do this! <3
If you want to hear his music, some of his songs are on his
myspace page. The best on the list, imho, are Be My Baby, Just Another Goodbye, and Wasted Jamie.
Here's one of his videos, and another of him playing and singing
solo. And
here's one with Christian and Steve performing together (Steve doesn't really come in until near the end, but I love the song).
If you like any of this (even just the connection to Supernatural) please ask your friends to vote too!
