Welcome to the home page of Maple Blues Award Winner Steve Kozak...

Vancouver's go to guy for that West Coast Blues sound!

Like everyone else in the music business all of our shows for the foreseeable future have been cancelled or postponed. We sure miss playing together as a band and miss seeing all of our friends and fans.

We look forward to the day we can all get back to work playing our music and get back to some sense of normalcy.

Thank you all for your kind support. Best wishes to all of you and your families.

Keep listening to the Blues and continue to support your local artists however you can.

Please stay home, stay safe and stay in touch!

One of Canada’s finest blues artists, Steve Kozak has been turning heads of blues fans in Canada for over thirty years since he first broke onto the Vancouver scene in the mid-eighties.

When it comes to tasty West coast blues guitar, Kozak’s name is at the top of the list in this nation -- just ask greats like Duke Robillard and James Harman who have shared the stage with this gifted bandleader, instrumentalist, writer and singer.

Gaining national recognition in 2013 Steve Kozak won a Maple Blues Award for New Artist or Group of the Year in Canada. Steve was also awarded The Ambassador of the Blues Award for 2012 by the Blues Underground Network.

Backed by his some of Vancouver’s top musicians Kozak has built a reputation as one of Canada’s premier Blues acts and is known as the go to guy in Vancouver for the west coast Blues sound. 

 The Steve Kozak Band features: Steve Kozak, guitar and vocal, Michael Kalanj, piano and organ (Powder Blues Band, Jim Byrnes, Spencer Davis, Chris Isaak), Roger Brant, bass guitar, (Amos Garrett, Brent Parkin and Hound Dog, David Burgin) and 'Steady Rollin' John Nolan on the drums (Sonny Phillips, Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison, Joe Pass, Linton Garner, Wynton Marsalis, Herb Ellis, Tal Farlow, Charlie Byrd).

 “Kozak’s fluid playing and razor sharp band are perfectly suited to his brand of passionate, exuberant jump blues. They may hail from Vancouver, but they have Chicago in their soul.”
