About Steven Fromholz

Steven John Fromholz was an American singer-songwriter who was selected as the Poet Laureate of Texas for 2007. In addition to singing and songwriting, Fromholz dabbled in acting, playwriting, poetry, record producing, narrating, jingle-writing and whitewater river guiding. He had two daughters; Darcie (to whom the song "Dear Darcie" is dedicated) and Felicity (for whom his record label Felicity Records is named). His life and works are the subject of an Austin Sayre documentary film currently in production titled "The Man with the Big Hat." Fromholz's first album, Here to There, has become a difficult-to-find Texas classic, as it has long been out of print.
