Steve Nieve, Pianist of Elvis Costello

Steve Nieve is one of the greatest keyboardists of our time, and arguably who ever lived. He undeniably holds the highest honor of rock star status, if a permanent place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a Grammy to his name doesn’t speak for itself. Steve Nieve is best known for playing piano, organ and keyboard instruments with Elvis Costello and the Imposters (formerly the Attractions), first teaming up with Costello at the age of 17, while still a student at the Royal College of Music in London. After that, it was rock history. Led by Costello’s vocals and Nieve’s catchy piano lines they left a trail of epic concerts, platinum records, and 70’s rockn’roll urban legends in their wake. Nieve’s creative collaboration resume is one of the most impressive in the business, having shared the stage with everyone from Bono, Sting, Squeeze, Bruce Springstein, Ted Baker and Lou Reed to David Bowie and The Rolling Stones….the list goes on and on…
