Hallucinations, the new album from Vancouver born artist Steve Rio, is an expansive genre-bending work. The CD features straight-up indy-rock tracks, dark experimental tracks, roots, and electronic sounds. The self-produced record twists and turns through genres, guided by Rio’s personal lyrics and vocal approach. Hallucinations features guest appearances by Steve Dawson, on the rootsy love song, My House, Paula Toledo on the sublime finisher, Mercy, local electronic trio FNDMNTL on the giant electronic track, Alive, and a 12 piece string ensemble, on Victim Fantasies, to name a few. Hallucinations was released December 15th. Steve Rio bares his soul with the audience everytime he sets foot on stage. Whether it be armed only with an acoustic guitar & his vocal chords, backed by his band, or rocking with his punk/metal band, Odessa. Steve Rio is a talented guitarist, vocalist, writer & producer based out of Vancouver BC Canada. He has been involved with music since the age of 12, playing in almost every type of project imagineable: Rock, Metal, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Latin, Folk, Dub, and R&B.
