Steve Oliver's Upbeat Outlook |
| Sep 29 2010 |
Guitarist Steve Oliver is known for making upbeat music (his current single, “Fun In the Sun”, is high atop the charts right now) – and he’s sharing that hopeful attitude in a recent interview. Speaking with SmoothViews.com, Oliver discussed the challenges currently facing the record business – and the downturn in the economy in general. When asked how he deals with these uncertain times, Oliver stated, “It's just flat out passion. Everybody can take away the jobs and things like that but you can't take passion out of people. Things like the economy or the business climate are not going to take the passion out of me. If you're passionate about what you're doing and you're just headstrong and keep going, you're going to be fine. I really believe that. I don't care how bad times are getting. You'll find ways to make it work and I think that's what's happening with a lot of people. You may have to do something different, or a try lot of new things but when you are passionate you will make it work.” Oliver next performs at the Catalina Jazz Fest on Oct. 17.
