Guitarist Uffe Steen is commonly associated with the blues and jazz genres, and has been featured on more than 80 releases as a soloist and sideman, including with Uffe Steen Trio, Grarup Allstars, Shades of Blue, and Indra Band. He is a versatile guitarist with a unique playing style and an inherently bluesy expression. His style is energetic and melodic, moving between jazz, blues, and rock. Uffe Steen has released four CDs as a solo artist and has received both the Ben Webster Award and a DMA Live Award. His solo talent is renowned in both Denmark and abroad, and he has performed with international stars such as Joey Baron, Jeff Ballard, and Maria Bergman.
