New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ 429 Records) Steve Nieve,
Elvis Costello and Joe Summer (son of Sting), appeared on "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tonight performing "Tender Moment" a new song taken from Nieve's new album "ToGetHer." The legendary
Elvis Costello and The Attractions / The Imposters keyboardist recently signed with 429 Records which released the dynamic collection of original songs showcasing collaborations with a long line of noted artists including Sting, Costello, Laurie Anderson,
Glenn Tillbrook, Robert Wyatt, Ron Sexsmith,
Vanessa Paradis, Harper
Simon (son of Paul), Sumner and French talents Tall Ulyss, Cali, Alain Chamfort and Muriel Teodori (Nieve's life partner). The British born musician now residing in Paris has composed a thrilling collection of songs in a pop/rock vein incorporating a heady mix of experimental, theatrical, classical and French styles. Produced and written with Teodori (with whom he composed the 2007 classical opera "Welcome to the Voice") and French musician Tall Ulyss (front man of the popular rock group Tall Ulysses), and with the help of musicians
Vincent Segal (cello), Francois Poggio (electric guitar) and
Benoit de Segonzac (bass), Nieve has crafted an evocative song cycle that's both a contemporary musical statement and an ode to his adopted home of France. Notably, Nieve and Costello collaborated on the music and lyrics of their duet "Tender Moment (Kairos)" and "You Lie Sweetly" with
Sting contributing vocals. "ToGetHer" is available everywhere on 429 Records.
Inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame as a member of The Attractions, Steve Nieve has spent the last 36 years performing with Elvis Costello and releasing his own solo work. A departure from his former solo releases which showcased the classical and minimalist side of his craft, "ToGetHer" is a fully fledged pop rock manifesto masterfully utilizing the talents of artists he has known and respected through the years and who help him realize his unique musical vision outside of his comfort zone.
