Delicate Steve

Delicate Steve, the project of New Jersey-born guitarist Steve Marion, brings his signature brand of joyful, wordless guitar storytelling to two intimate shows this spring. Known for crafting melodic instrumentals that feel like sun-soaked road trips and emotional journeys all at once, Delicate Steve has built a devoted following through sheer musical charm and an unmistakable sonic identity that blends rock, funk, and psychedelia into something entirely his own. On May 14, 2026, Delicate Steve returns to his home turf for a 21+ night at The Wonder Bar in Asbury Park — one of the Jersey Shore's most beloved and storied music venues. The intimate setting is perfectly suited to Marion's expressive playing style, putting fans just steps away from the fretboard magic that has earned him praise from music lovers and critics alike. The show follows an earlier stop at Austin's legendary Antone's Nightclub on May 7, making this spring run a can't-miss double feature for dedicated fans. Whether you're a longtime devotee or discovering Delicate Steve for the first time, these shows promise an evening of uplifting, transportive music in rooms that celebrate the spirit of live performance. Asbury Park's rich rock history — the same boardwalk town that forged Bruce Springsteen — provides the perfect backdrop for a night of guitar-driven wonder.
