  Steve Moakler
STEVE MOAKLER grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, where his mom suspected that he'd become a preacher. His teachers said he'd be an actor, and Steve himself thought he'd be a teacher. Steve is just 21 years old and already a master pop craftsman. Steve displays a sense of maturity and diversity in his music which sounds like Mat Kearney meets Jason Mraz. Listening to his music and you too won’t deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories. His songs have a maturity you wouldn't expect from such a young man. Steve is quickly emerging as one of the best of a new generation of pop-rock songwriters who attend Belmont University. When you meet Steve, you understand where this music comes from. His personality is pure joy. Like the bright rays of summer day, Steve's personality shines when speaks about his life, his music, and his love of bananas.

Steve was great!  Very courteous and easy to work with.  His performance was excellent and the crowd really seemed to enjoy him.  It was a pleasure to work with him and all of you at Wally's World and we look forward to continuing the relationship in the future!  Thanks for everything.

- Julie Hall, Campus Activities Board Chairperson,  Mississippi College, Clinton, MS 

Steve’s performance was great! The turnout was a little on the small side; however, not bad for a Sunday night event. I thought that the audience really enjoyed the music and the performance in general. We are so glad he could make it to GMC!
Megan Dopp, Asst. DSA - Green Mountain College, Poultney, VT

Steve's show went really well. I had him perform in a coffee house and it was our best turn out all year! Everyone loved him. Thanks so much for letting him play here!
Toni Vegiard - Entertainment Coordinator - Mount Ida College, Newton Centre, MA

The students LOVED him!!! he had a fan base in audience kept yelling "I LOVE YOU" and i had some students who couldn't be there find his music online and learning how to play it on their guitars, also his T-shirts that i bought have gotten more than 50 comments the day i wore it. So he was great and we loved him!!!
Hawa Umarova, Entertainment Chair, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams, MA


The performance went really well. We had 35- 40 students for the performance. There were definitely a few fans present. Someone actually showed with a hand drawing they had done of him wanting an autograph. Steve was really easy to work with, and we were glad to have him on campus!
Cara Sheaffer, Assistant Director of Student Activities, Saint Catherine University - Saint Paul, MN

Steve put on an awesome set. We enjoyed his music and the students welcomed him with open arms. A great turnout! He did a great job of interacting with the audience and relating to them. Hopefully we can bring him back another time, thanks Wally for your help.
Trevor Starnes, Vice President for Programming, Samford University, Birmingham, AL

Steve's performance and the whole event went extremely well - we had over 100 people attend! Everything about the performance was great, Steve and Matt (on keyboards) really drew in the audience and fed off of that energy. The people in attendance enjoyed the music and atmosphere of the show, listening and singing along to the originals and covers played. Steve was great to work with and extremely personable - they stayed long after the show was done to enjoy our ice cream social and hang out with the board and students, all with a long trip ahead of them! It was a great way to end my semester's events and became my favorite event of the year. People are still talking about the event 2 weeks later and asking when he can come back! Thanks for helping us out with the show - it was one of the best that we had this year for SAB!
Mary Herzig - SAB Coordinator, St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY

I wanted to first personally thank you for working with me, especially through all my troubles, I really appreciated it. The show was a success with several people still coming up to me raving about how much they loved the concert. Steve is a great guy as a performer, just full of positive energy and putting on a smooth, crowd captivating show. Thank you again for working with me and making the show happen.

Nathan Pyle, Student Programmer, University of Dayton – Dayton, OH

The show was absolutely wonderful. I couldn't have asked for a better performance. It was very crazy in our student center because we had our birthday bash last night, it was wonderful. I look forward to working with you again very soon.
Karen Valluri, Programming Chair - Radford University, Radford, VA

Steve Moakler performed at the ECSU campus last evening for a coffeehouse, and he was awesome. He brought along his keyboard friend Matt, and together they had an awesome performance. There were around 70 people in the audience, and they grooved to Steve's music on every song. Steve brought humor and class to the cafe' he performed in, and I personally got to know each of them a little bit more, before and after the show, they are definitely cool guys. Steve and I worked well together coordinating his show with my tunes I was playing in the beginning and the end off of my laptop and my t-shirts that I gave out as prizes. Anyways overall, it was a very smooth and well put together performance.
Chris Loveland, Music Entertainment Coordinator, ECSU Campus Activity Board, Eastern Connecticut State University

I asked our concerts coordinator what he thought and he said: "Steve was great. His music suited the environment very well. The audience enjoyed his performance a lot. He also made an effort to connect with many of us who were there. Overall, a really good guy, and a good time."
Apparently the students liked him a lot. Thanks for helping us out with setting up Steve’s performance.
Linda Bernazzani, Asst. Director - Wentworth Institute of Technology - Boston, MA

Steve did wonderful job and the students enjoyed his performance. He was great to work with and I as well thought he did a great job. No, he was not on time but it was not his fault and he was calling me every minute to let me know how far he was from the college. Thank you for recommending him. He was wonderful and I think he said he was from Jersey which was a plus…(Joke) J.
Rouseline Emmanuel, Director of Campus Activities, Young Harris College, Young Harris, GA

The show was great! Steve was a great guy to meet and to listen to perform. Like I said before, this was our school's first time putting on that type of coffee shop event, and it went over really well. I bought his CD on iTunes before he came and really liked it, and he still surpassed my expectations of how he would sound live. Can't wait for our next show with Andrew Belle!
Alissa Fricke, SAB Entertainment Chair, University of Evansville – Evansville, IN

Steve was fantastic! It was the best and most successful coffee house we’ve had yet! Students stuck around to talk to him and buy merchandise and that never happens! Steve is an excellent musician and I am very much looking forward to seeing him perform at NACA next month!
Laurie Conway, Coordinator of Student Activities , Bethany College – Bethany, WV

Steve was wonderful. Really talented and down to earth. Also comes very prepared, had a nice floor rug and table lights which helped set the mood on the right note. The audience really enjoyed him. They sang along when he asked them to. For being my last performer of the semester I was quite pleased.
Patrick Maloney, SUB Performing Arts Chair, Missouri University of Science and Technology - Rolla, MO

The show was great. We had the highest attendance of the year for a musician and the crowd loved the show. Steve was very friendly and considerate at all times. He was also appreciate of our venue which is always nice to hear. He was definitely one of the nicest acts we have had come to our school. Thank you very much for working with us!
Alison Patel, Campus Programming Council, Westminster College – New Wilmington, PA

For a Thursday night show, we had incredible attendance. Steve did a great job with the show and was very well received by the audience. He has a huge following from back home and quite a few people on thursday were familiar faces to him and I think everyone really enjoyed it. He had a lot of people stay after for cd's and autographs as well. Thanks so much for working with us to book Steve!
Molly Thomas – SGA Vice President, Penn State Behrend – Erie, PA

Steve was great to work with. He was laid back and flexible, and you know how lunch shows go....lots of people moving around, listening, but also doing other things. He was a great performer, and the students enjoyed his performance.
Megan Noltenmeyer, Director of Student Activities Centre College of Kentucky
- Danville, KY
Everything went very well yesterday. It was during lunch, so there were about 50-70 people there. All the feedback I heard was good. People kept walking into my office saying he great he was (and that he looked like he was 18 ! )
Leah Robichaud, Director Student Activities - Lesley University, Cambridge, MA

Steve was great. He was on time (early in fact), set up without problems, and was very personable. The students enjoyed him. I know I did! We would definitely have him back again!
Carol Wolfe, Student Activities Assistant , Purdue University Calumet – Hammond, IN

Steve was here very early—good—to set up and be ready on time. His set up is the best we have had from any entertainer. Steve did a great job. More students attended Steve’s performance that any other. If Steve is in the area again I would hire him in an instant.
Gene Reese, Director of Student Development , Ancilla College – Donaldson, IN

Just got in from the event we had tonight with Steve Moakler and it went incredibly well! Steve was amazing, told really funny stories, and had a great mix of covers and originals. Our students were clapping and dancing around and they all seemed to be really enjoying themselves.
Dave McKellar, Entertainment Chair, Fitchburg State University, Fitchburg, MA


He was really great – both as a performer and all around good guy!!! Let me know if he's coming back through! And thanks for all your help with this!!!!!
Joe Mollo, Director Student Life, University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA

I have to tell you Steve was a pleasure to work with! We really enjoyed having him, he was perfect for the coffee house setting! He was very interactive and engaging with our students. Even our students that I dragged in to the event, even though they didn't want to go, actually stayed the entire time and were happy they did! Many asked when we can bring him back!
Alyssa Ruggiero, Coordinator Student Activities, Georgian Court Univesity, Lakewood, NJ


Everything went well. To my surprise, we had a lot of people that parked on the grass in front of the stage listening to the music. Steve was great to work with, and they really dug his music. He has some well placed covers too which always helps. Thanks for another good show.
- Michael Hersh, Coordinator Student Programs, Penn College of Technology, Williamsport, PA

“His musical talents and ability to entertain a crowd left many either rolling with laughter or listening in awe of the passionate words of each song.”
-Laura Henry //Event Coordinator Westminister College-New Wilmington, PA

“While many of the students were unfamiliar with his music prior to the show, his ability to engage the crowd got the student body asking him to come back for future events. He was an absolute joy to work with and I know the student body shares my desire to bring him back. I continue to hear random students around the campus blaring his music from their rooms and I look forward to hearing great things from him.”
-Ryan Reetz //President of campus activities board Benedictine College-Atchison, Kansas

"Steve Moakler is a hidden talent with an authentic sound; by far the best performer we've had all year."
Lily Sears//Noontime Concert Series Chairman Penn State University- State College, PA

“Steve Moakler is a breathtaking young talent. Whether he’s performing an all-out rock show, or an intimate acoustic sing-along, he puts it all together with his own sophisticated yet playful flare. I would recommend him to anyone, however I warn of the gaping hole you will have in your life once he walks off the stage. “
Matt Collette// President - Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity Virginia Tech-Blacksburg, VA

"The crowds keep growing every time Steve comes back through town, and I'm not surprised. He's got a memorable show with great songs and killer stage presence. His future is bright!
Daniel Brindley // Owner & Booker - Jammin' Java-Vienna, VA
