American-roots like you've never heard. Ghostwriter Steve Schecter melds influences from country-blues to post-punk wielding a guitar and homemade foot-percussion device. Born in the ghost town of Freind, Oregon, residing in Austin, TX, Schecter has opened for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and T-Model Ford, toured alongside Dex Romweber (Flat Duo Jets), Bloodshot Bill, and The Legendary Shack Shakers, and released over ten albums on his own End of the West label. "Ghostwriter's sound ranges from bombastic Southern rock and boogieing punk to troubadour folk storytelling and lo-fi bluesy rockabilly. His brilliance is made all the more impressive due to the fact that he performs as a one-man band, emphasizing his undeniably visceral songwriting and DIY rock and roll sensibility." - Tom Hilton, Aldora Britain Magazine "To these ears, one of the best purveyors of down and dirty blues triumphalism." - Robert Ham, Willamette Week “a one-man junk-folk-blues act with knitting-needle guitar, footstomp percussion, and a holler that sounds like a less lysergic Captain Beefheart” – Ned Lannamann, Portland Mercury "Live, Ghostwriter can put the fear of God in you... unleashing some serious power through his minimalist approach." - Mark Lore, Chico News & Review "A raw, gritty, organic sound, full of heart and guts, and sweat and spit and backbone... referred to as "anarcho cowpunk," "blue-collar blues-punk," and a "one-man existential blues machine." Not the most fitting descriptive terms, to be sure, save perhaps for "blue-collar blues-punk," which at once sums up the man and the artist pretty accurately." - James Carlson, National Examiner
