Steve Hooker is a veteran UK guitarist and frontman whose stripped-down blend of rockabilly, blues, and punk has earned him cult status across Europe and beyond. Based in Southend, he’s spent decades carving out a raw, streetwise sound—equal parts bottleneck blues, garage grit, and rock’n’roll swagger.
From his early days with The Heat and The Shakers to his current trio, the Stripped Down Stompin’ Band, Hooker has shared stages with legends like Wilko Johnson, Johnny Thunders, and Robert Gordon. His live shows are lean, loud, and loaded with attitude—built around his signature 1935 National steel guitar and a rhythm section that stomps as hard as it swings.
Whether in a backroom bar or on a festival stage, Steve Hooker delivers rock’n’roll with no filters, no frills, and no compromise
