Award-winning songwriter Steven Gellman is a quintessential Americana/Folk singer with “insightful original songs and homespun stories [that] provide a soul-warming folk rock respite in a busy, chilly world.” (Donn B. Murphy, The National Theater) His songs tell stories of everyday life wrapped in notes that will have you humming along in a style that Billboard Magazine has described as “intensely sensitive and impressively intelligent at the same time.” A lifelong storyteller, Gellman now brings that same lyrical sensibility to the page—his debut novel Somewhere in Nowhere will be published by NineStar Press in 2026. He has performed at acclaimed venues such as the Birchmere and Club Passim and has opened for the likes of Al Stewart, Richie Havens, Dar Williams, and Cheryl Wheeler among others.
