STEVE KARLA MUSIC & ART
Hot Club of Asheville
Asheville, NC
Steve Karla is an Asheville-based guitarist who performs classic gypsy jazz with a risk-taking twist, incorporating intricate melodic lines, la pompe, and hints of other world rhythms.
Well-loved jazz and swing standards are fused with improvised dialogues and transformed into a spirited experience of the modern gypsy jazz sound.
When not making music, he spends his time creating surreal paintings and learning the art of guitar-building.
