BIO: Ghostwriter (the original punk-folk troubadour)* is the post-punk version of a Harry Smith era self-accompanied singer-songwriter... Ghostwriter has toured the States for over a decade, and released six albums on End of the West records. Along the way, Ghostwriter has opened for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, T-Model Ford, The Real Kids, and toured supporting Dex Romweber (Flat Duo Jets), and Th' Legendary Shack Shakers. Known for his visceral songwriting and unrelenting DIY ethos, Ghostwriter has carved a niche in underground music with his stark take on Americana. On his last album Prayin' all the time (2012), Ghostwriter brings fire and brimstone deep into the Oregon backwoods.
*(Steve Schecter started performing as Ghostwriter in 2002 while living in Austin, TX. In 2007 Schecter relocated to The Dalles, OR and again to Portland, OR. in 2011. All the while performing and recording as Ghostwriter.)
“To these ears, one of the best purveyors of down and dirty blues triumphalism.” - Robert Ham, Willamette Week.
"A one-man junk-folk-blues act with knitting-needle guitar, footstomp percussion, and a holler that sounds like a less lysergic Captain Beefheart." - Ned Lannamann, Portland Mercury.
