Welcome to the Official website of Keyboardist
& Composer Nick Steed
Welcome to my page, I'm Nick, a freelance keyboard vocalist, recently moved to Macclesfield, Cheshire. I specialise in Jazz Rock ,Blues and Fusion Prog music performing all over the UK and Europe.
For the past 6 years I have been a crucial member of legendary classic jazz rock band Colosseum, a vitally important band that introduced jazz rock into the UK throughout the late sixties, early seventies.
I've co- produced and written for the band on the last two albums 'Restoration' & 'XI' as well as writing albums for my own bands, solo projects and sessions for other bands, I hope you enjoy browsing through my website and possibly working with you on future projects.
New album out now !!
My latest solo classical concept album 'Secrets of the King's court - 'Themes & Variations' is now finished and available on CD format (contact me for a copy ) also available digitally on Bandcamp
The classical prog rock album features my good friends Clem Clempson, Mark Clarke, Greg Morgan, Ray DeTone, Peter Mason and Stephen Cordiner which is based on musical pieces I've written over the years that have been arranged into themes and variations.
