In an interview with an Australian magazine, Wold attributed much of his unlikely success to his cheap and weather-beaten guitar, "The Trance Wonder" and reveals the guitar's mojo might come from supernatural sources. Wold has five adult sons, [6] and has married twice, marrying his second wife in the early 1980s. [6] Wold has said that he has problems putting down roots in one place, and he and his wife have lived in 59 houses to date, including Norway and the United Kingdom.

Release

Man from Another Time, Steve's fourth studio album, was released in October 2009. The album peaked to No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart. Wold claimed to have lived rough and on the road in Tennessee, Mississippi and elsewhere, until at least the late 1960s. [19] [6] However, Wright's biography claims that Wold lived in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, for some time from 1965. [20] He attended the Monterey Pop Festival, regularly saw bands such as The Grateful Dead perform in the area, and became acquainted with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. [21] [22] Early musical activities [ edit ] Steve Wold was born in Oakland, California, as Steven Gene Leach, though his biographer suggests that he may have been adopted as a baby. He took the surname Wold in the early 1980s, from that of his second wife. [15] In 2000, he gave his age as 50, [16] though later publicity implied that he was older. Official birth records confirm his birth year as 1951. [2]

In February 2010, Wold was nominated for a Brit Award in the category of International Solo Male Artist for the second consecutive year. [45] a b "Later with Jools Holland - Latest show information and exclusive performances filmed for the web". BBC. 2011-07-12 . Retrieved 2011-12-30.In 2010, Wold made numerous festival appearances throughout the summer, including the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival, [51] the main stage at V Festival, [52] the main stage at the Hop Farm Festival and many more. [53] After returning to the US, he trained as a paramedic, [34] before moving with his wife and their three sons from Nashville, Tennessee, to Olympia, near Seattle, in 1991. [35] The move was partly motivated by Elisabeth Wold's desire to live in an area reminiscent of her native Norway, but also reflected the area's developing indie music scene. [6] In Olympia, Wold established his own guitar store and recording studio, Moon Music. [33] He was acquainted with Kurt Cobain, and began producing records by local musicians, including Kathleen Hanna and Fitz of Depression. [33] Wold produced the 1996 debut album by Modest Mouse, This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, [36] and recordings by the band P.E.Z. on which he played guitar. He also worked closely with a local band, the Tremens, and with them started to form a band, Dr Steel and the Forty-nines, with himself as singer and lead guitarist, but this fell through. A 2001 interview with the Tremens described Wold as a " Pacific Northwest music icon... who has put his recording stamp on some of the most influential bands to come out of Puget Sound."
