Steve Shiffman: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Steve Shiffman

Steve Shiffman is a New York City–based rock and pop songwriter whose catalog sits close to the anti-folk tradition. He performs at Baker Falls, often in bills that emphasize community over spectacle, including collaborations with The Land of No and Prewar Yardsale. Shiffman’s songs lean on direct guitar-driven structures and plainspoken vocal delivery, with attention to narrative detail. His live work favors intimacy and clarity over stagecraft, drawing focus to lyric and timing rather than volume.
