Steve Kunzman

Steve Kunzman is a New Jersey–based singer-songwriter whose music blends heartfelt storytelling with rich acoustic textures. Primarily a guitarist, he also plays mandolin, dobro, and banjo, and often lends his talents as a sideman, adding accompaniment and harmony for fellow artists. He has performed widely across the Northeast, both solo and with bands..

Steve has released three albums of original songs. His debut, Find the Moon (2003), showcased his multi-instrumental skills alongside guest musicians. His second album, Back Home (2013), produced by Grammy-winner Ben Wisch, featured contributions from Kevin Barry, Zev Katz, and other acclaimed players. His new album, Under the Moon (2023), reunites him with Wisch, Katz, and Barry, and adds Cameron Wisch and Patty Antol to the mix.

A four-time participant in Rosanne Cash’s Essence of Songwriting workshop, Steve has been praised by Cash for his “sensitivity, skill, and beautifully honest voice.” He lives in New Jersey with his wife, Jane, an artist and arts educator, and together they enjoy a busy family life with four children and three grandchildren

Under the Moon

Steve returned to Ben Wisch to engineer, co-produce, mix, master, and add piano to "Under the Moon," and enlisted Kevin Barry (guitars), Zev Katz (bass), Cameron Wisch (percussion), and Patty Antol (harmony vocals) to fill out the songs.

The predominantly acoustic album utilizes a variety of styles to keep the listener interested and grounded in Steve's soulful voice and deep and thoughtful lyrics.
