Acclaimed Canadian blues artist Steve Marriner is back with the new single "Straight Line," the third release from his solo album Hear My Heart,
out now via Cordova Bay Records. Following the swaggering success of
his first single — a blues-soaked reinvention of Genesis’s “I Can’t
Dance” and “I Don’t Know What To Say.”
With over twenty years of relentless touring and recording, Steve Marriner has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most versatile and hard-working musicians. Nicknamed "The Swiss Army Knife"
for his multi-instrumental talents, Marriner is a celebrated harmonica
player, baritone guitarist, soulful vocalist, and creative producer.
As a co-founder and frontman of the acclaimed blues-rock band MonkeyJunk, Marriner has won two JUNO Awards
for Blues Album of the Year and became part of Canadian blues history
when MonkeyJunk became the first Canadian band to win a Blues Music
Award in Memphis. His 2021 solo album Hope Dies Last earned a 2022 JUNO nomination, cementing his place as a powerhouse solo artist.
Beyond MonkeyJunk, Marriner has collaborated with legends including Buddy Guy, Colin James, and Blue Rodeo, as well as produced two albums — Yeah! by David Gogo and This Old Life by Big Dave McLean — both nominated for Blues Album of the Year at the 2025 JUNO Awards.
With Hear My Heart,
Marriner continues to evolve, bringing new emotional depth and musical
grit to his work — and solidifying his status as one of the most
compelling voices in modern blues.
