Steve Bardwil Band

After decades navigating the high-stakes world of Hollywood as Chief Counsel for Walt Disney Studios, Steve Bardwil traded legal briefs for guitar riffs. His band released its debut album Nothing But Time in 2025 which is a deeply personal and collaboratively-created album produced by the 11x GRAMMY winner Joe Chiccarelli. It blends Bardwil’s storytelling instincts with a joyful, alternative rock sensibility. In 2026, the band has released two singles and music videos - "Something With You" and "Scarecrow Dreams" - and will be releasing a new full length album titled Stardust In Disiguise on July 17th. With his creative compass set toward optimism and connection, Steve Bardwil's music avoids melancholia in favor of inspiration; crafting songs that uplift without preaching, both timeless and contemporary, echoing his deep respect for rock traditions while employing modern studio craftsmanship. The Steve Bardwil Band members include: Johnny Stachela (electric guitars), Max Butler (B3 organ, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, synthesizers and vocals), Vince Fossett (Drums, congas and percussion), Aaron Leibowitz (saxophones and flute), Frank Coglitore (bass), Catherine Jayne (vocals), Scarlet Rivera (violin) and of course Steve (acoustic guitar and lead vocals).
