“The band serves their message in a rich tapestry of psychedelic verve.” – Relix Magazine
“A mix of dreamy power pop and psychedelia – to the masses.” – Rock Cellar Magazine
“Bardwil brings a reflective heartfelt sound that is clearly rooted in real experience.” – Songfacts

After decades navigating the high-stakes world of Hollywood as Chief Counsel for Walt Disney Studios, Steve Bardwil traded legal briefs for guitar riffs. Nothing But Time is a deeply personal, collaboratively-created album produced by the multi-Grammy® winner Joe Chiccarelli that blends Bardwil’s storytelling instincts with a joyful, alternative rock sensibility.

With his creative compass set toward optimism and connection, Bardwils’ music avoids melancholia in favor of inspiration; crafting songs that uplift without preaching, both timeless and contemporary, echoing Bardwil’s 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), George Sugarman (bass), Catherine Jayne (vocals) and of course Steve (acoustic guitar and lead vocals).
