Steve Brock is many things – singer-songwriter, actor, bisexual, autistic, talented, but what he definitely is not is timid. He confidently tells his story in song and speech, and draws the audience in with his sweetness and charm. He was honest about his labels – those imparted on him and those he assigned himself. He led the audience through his life story, and even had a talk back session at the end so that the audience could ask question about anything they did not understand. Although there were some technical issues, Brock handled them with grace, and did not let them interfere with his show. His voice is sweet and he writes beautiful songs, especially the title track that he uses to open and close the show. All in all it was a most worthy effort.

Steve Brock includes you in the journey of his life with poignant and touching moments. His beautiful singing voice…reminds me of James Taylor in tone and tells a story.

Steve Brock recounts his experiences with absolutely no ego and with a genuine desire to connect to both those who judge and label others, and those who have suffered from receiving such labels. Loved the intimate setting and simple storytelling.

I liked Steve’s ability to paint a situation for me, to help me understand states and situations I haven’t personally encountered, but which share a deep truth in the feelings of any fellow human being

The ballad that Steve sings against the wall, with the lovely lighting on his face. The way he acted out moments in therapy, when he was a young boy, and the experience that changed him forever. The sad story that he shares with us with courage and conviction. The Q & A afterwards, for more of a look inside the sweet soul that is Steve Brock. This was a courageous and honest portrayal of a man on a journey of self-discovery. Steve musical abilities and fine voice enhance this show. Our hearts go out to this gentle soul. Told with humor and tragedy. Wonderful writing and fabulous direction by the talented Jessica Lynn Johnson. Everything she touches is GOLD! :)

Steve felt free to tell a group of total strangers’ deep secrets about his life, opening up about his sexual preference, his ADHD, his depression, a traumatic experience, his music and the labels people place on him and the labels he placed on himself. He even had a puppy crying in the front row! Thanks for the wonderful CD, Steve! (I just remembered I had a CD player in my car, thanks for the reminder)

Steve’s writing and performance mines some dark place that many people (more than will admit) should find relate-able. I could hear audience members emotionally reacting to revelations. Some heartbreaking, some uplifting, but most importantly all of them real and honest. This is a fantastic insight into a human being and therefore just fine as it is. :)
