Steve by Highway 61 in Minnesota


Latest video from Steve Ulrich, live from Austin Texas.


Steve will be playing a brief fall tour in 2011. Check out these dates!






Steve has been writing songs and performing for many years. He has entertained people in a diverse number of settings. He has performed shows in hospitals, rehab centers, nursing homes, nightclubs, coffee houses, restaurants, house concerts, festivals and on the street. He tailors his sets to the needs of the venue. For some it’s a night of dancing, for others its an afternoon to reminisce. With scores of original songs spanning the broad range of Americana and with scores more of country, blues, folk, and rock tunes, Ulrich is very versatile. He can bring what you want. And, besides that, he is a humorist and a storyteller. Audiences consistently enjoy meeting Steve and he enjoys them too.

In the late 70´s as Zeus Muldoon, in the 80´s as Steve Duckfoot, Steve Ulrich was a mainstay in the Austin Folk scene. Sharing billing with such luminaries as Blaze Foley, Pat Mears, Lyle Lovett and Townes Van Zandt. Ulrich was considered a "best bet" by the local press and club goers alike. Then in 1986 he took "time off to grow up with my kids" and left the active music life for the next fifteen years.

Resurfacing in 2000 as Steve Convenience, Ulrich teamed up with producer Brian Beattie on his stellar debut album Guy Down the Street. Released in 2001 the eclectic collection swings gospel, country, pop, rock and blues. He embartked on an ambitious performing schedule averaging about 200 dates a year since.

With the ten year goal of "traveling the world and playing music", Steve has since then played in several European countries, throughout the western and midwestern United States, Guatemala, Mexico and Canada. There have been three more albums. the latest, "Break on Through" displays a touch for nuance and sensitivity in lyric and a zest for the primitive enjoyment of skiffle music.

Steve and Elisabeth in Portland

Steve and his partner, Elisabeth Rogolsky, now live in Guatemala but have booked the first couple of performances for the 2012 tour. Calling it the "Subatomic Medicine Tour", this time they're headed from Texas east through the south and then up the seaboard to New England and on over to Minnesota and back.

In September 2011 there is a new release. A dvd filmed in Portland and Austin last year by Edis Jurcys, Cathy Zheutlin and Jana Birchum will arrive.
