Welcome to STEWARDSONGS.com ~ home and only social media offering of the musicians' consortium STEWARDS ECLECTRIC. Everything you hear and see is done in-house, from writing to engineering, recording and production and artwork, right down to this left-hand-built website.
We care for it like the post-precocious child that it is.
We are a truly independent music producer, independent even of the existing definition of "Indie" artist. We go our own way, deflecting self-acclaimed experts and so-called mentors who would modifying our songs, lyrics and vocals, who would change our mixes and productions to suit their own tastes. Experts like those who recommended cutting Somewhere Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. They would've told Jimi Hendrix to practice more, polish up his vocals and try again. No, thank you. Go write your own song.
>>>> THE SONG PLAYERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LONG PAGE <<<<
To all highly valued repeat visitors, followers, and fans: welcome back. We take great joy in creating this music. Genre-wise, we're all over the place, and that makes it fun - so, with a salute to my bro Sylvester Steward a.k.a. Sly Stone, we say: "Thank you for lettin' us be ourselves again!" Ultimately, it is for your ears that we keep this organic music machine running. ECLECTRIC = widely varied, energetically charged. Predominantly electric rockers, we are, above all else, eclectic. At times, we lean into blues, hip hop, R&B, psychedelic, experimental, acoustic, folk, bluegrass, country (and "western"!), and jazz ~ well, not real jazz, more like smooth, casual jazz ~ all with a rock tint .
Our latest: "Choosn Love" is here. Also info about the artists who created it *. No time for details? The song has its own HearNow mini website: URL https://stewardseclectric.hearnow.com ~ including links, and the complete song plays FREE.

This week's lyric SPOTLIGHT
and the subject is: Choosn...
"Recognize – one can see
Need a smarter, a calmer energy
Don’t need lies, but a steady hand
Steer us back to the love in this land"
From "Choosn Love" © (special release single Sept. 11, 2024)
FROM THE DIRECTOR:
One of my favorite things to do ~ after pushing a fledgling out of the nest, and watching it fly into the world ~ is seeing where it goes. Interesting - watching the path of "Choosn Love"...
