"Steve Poltz puts Dylan-esque wordplay and the electric acid-test colors of the Sixties on display in his new song and video for 'Can O’ Pop.'”
– ROLLING STONE COUNTRY
"A master of full disclosure, Steve Poltz outs himself as an unrepentant entertainer on 'Stardust & Satellites'...the album will inspire a nod of recognition from anyone who’s stared into the abyss, yet found the power to keep moving forward, one step at a time."
– NO DEPRESSION
“It’s impossible to dislike Steve Poltz...'Stardust & Satellites' is a wonderfully energized,
often joyful and wryly provocative release.” - 8/10
– HOLLER COUNTRY
“Most of us could use a healthy dose of Poltz’s life philosophy –
find humor in the smallest things, don’t stress with too many plans,
and don’t take ourselves too seriously. He puts these to a song like no other.”
– GLIDE
Veteran troubadour Steve Poltz has released his new album, Stardust & Satellites, today via Red House Records. Produced by Oliver Wood and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers, Stardust & Satellites is Poltz's 14th studio album and comprises another exuberant, thoughtful batch of songs that celebrate life in all of its stages.
Earlier this week, Poltz shared his effervescent new single, “Can O’ Pop.” The high-spirited, syncopated track is joined by an official animated video, directed by Boston-based artist/animator Duncan Hatch (Galactic, American Authors). In its premiere of the video, Rolling Stone Country called the song "a delirious delivery reminiscent of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues.'"
Stardust & Satellites also includes the acclaimed singles, “Conveyor Belt” and “Miles In My Heart."
Hailed by American Songwriter for “his unhinged live performances, incredible way with a comedic lyric and ability to spin a ripping tale,” Poltz is marking the album’s release with a typically busy live schedule, kicking off with a very special album release party, set for Nashville, TN’s City Winery on February 22, and then continuing into the summer. Additional headline dates and festival appearances will be announced. For complete details and ticket availability, please visit poltz.com/concerts.
