Steven Page made his first visit to St. Thomas on Wednesday, giving an entertaining performance and filling the Princess Ave Playhouse with his powerful, distinctive voice.
Page sang his heart out for almost two hours, non-stop except for the commentary between songs, managing to cover a hefty playlist with the aid of his guitar-tuner Boris.

Anecdotes and observations covered topics from Jumbo to time with the Bare Naked Ladies,
being arrested, life-long experiences with depression and more recent ones speaking (and listening) to audiences on that topic, and golfing with his father. The golf topic was sure to come up as the set had been readied for the Thursday opening of “Fox on the Fairway” at the playhouse.

Though Page’s musings (and music) have an often sarcastic edge, he also gives the sense that he is sharing through his mostly ballad-style renditions a generous glimpse into his heart and questioning mind.
The highlights of the evening were probably the times when Page stepped out from behind the mic and moved to the front of the stage, something that is possible for a singer with a fine voice in this small venue with great acoustics.
