RELEASES
"Should’ve Seen It Coming shows why Steve Krase is so highly regarded on the Houston music scene by both peers and fans alike. Krase is a fine vocalist and musician and the band really knocks this material out of the park. This album is a must for fans of the real deal blues."
- Graham Clarke, Phoenix Blues Society
"Krase is one of those guys you want to keep an eye on. He’s constantly moving and shaking and experimenting with new sounds and new people, and doing what he can to bring the blues to a wider audience. "
- Professor Johnny P's Juke Joint
"Here Krase takes the vocal mic as well, and brings his tight, good-time band to fore, with a set of band originals and cool covers. As you'd expect, and hope, there's plenty of sharp harp punctuating each cut. What I like about him is that he's not a huffer-and-puffer; he's controlling the thing, to make sure he's getting the right melody and solo lines out of it."
- CBC Radio's Bob Mersereau, review of Should've Seen It Coming
"Krase blows harp the way Stevie Ray Vaughn played guitar- with attitude and sass, bending the notes to his will, so it’s no wonder that he has been recognized in multiple categories over the years by the Houston Press Music Awards, most recently in 2016 as “best player”. He was also a semi-finalist recently at the 2017 International Blues Challenge in Memphis."
- The Rock Doctor
"Blues harmonica virtuoso Steve Krase has released his latest album, Should’ve Seen It Coming, and it is a party of a playlist. If you need to get things going, put this disc on; it is all about ignition. The production values are up to the high standard of each superb instrumentalist and Steve Krase’s smooth vocals communicate every nuance in every lyric."
- parcbench.live
"All in all, [Should've Seen It Coming] does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It puts you in a great mood. Whether it’s an at-home fiesta, or a long road trip, Should’ve Seen it Coming will keep the party going. Just take Steve’s advice and, 'Turn it up!'"
- American Blues Scene
"Steve Krase is a real harmonica virtuoso with a smooth blues voice. The sound is touching, and let's swing us from start to finish! Great recording! (5 stars)"
- Keys and Chords, review of Should've Seen It Coming
"Nothing beats a good live show...and Should've Seen It Coming captures it perfectly. This one is a keeper...and may just make my top picks for the year. It is THAT good. Don't let this one slip through your fingers."
- Reflections in Blue
"There are enough musical surprises here to please anyone. Krase proves himself a great bandleader. This is Krase’s best to date."
- Making a Scene's Richard Ludmerer, review of Should've Seen It Coming
"With everything blazing on all burners, [Should've Seen It Coming] that takes the best of Chicago, Memphis and Houston moves and mixes them together for a hot time delivers the good throughout. Well done."
- Chris Spector, Midwest Record
“[Steve Krase's] style is no holds barred and his songs are meant to be listened to loud.”
