When Steve Marion takes the stage, his guitar doesn’t just play — it sings. Known professionally as Delicate Steve, Marion has carved out a singular space in music with his completely wordless yet instantly recognizable sound. In a world oversaturated with guitars and amplifiers, nobody else sounds quite like him.

Fresh off the release of his latest album, Delicate Steve Sings, Marion continues to blur the line between instrumental and vocal music. The album sees him channeling iconic vocalists through his guitar, transforming standards and originals alike with his distinctive tone. Drawing inspiration from legends like Willie Nelson and Bill Withers, Marion approaches each composition with smooth reverence while maintaining the subversive edge that’s made him a sought-after collaborator for artists ranging from Paul Simon to Miley Cyrus.

This is not just another indie rock show. This is a masterclass in musical expression from an artist who has perfected the art of speaking volumes without saying a word. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of contemporary music’s most distinctive voices when he performs as part of Asbury Jams and the Prudential North to Shore Festival.
