Howling on Paper, Singer-Songwriter Steven Alvarado's First Book, Is Out Now

NEW YORK - Sept. 3, 2026 - PRLog -- Steven Alvarado has spent more than two decades writing songs, making records, touring, and following wherever the music led. Now, for the first time, he has gathered that life in music into a book that brings together the stories behind the songs with the songs themselves.

Steven Alvarado · Howling on Paper: Songs, Stories, and a Life in Music begins with Alvarado's personal account of the unlikely path that brought him to where he is today, from landing a record deal in the 1980s and making records on shoestring budgets to extensive touring across the US and Europe. Along the way, he started his own record company, Mott Street Records, and crossed paths with extraordinary musicians, unexpected opportunities, and the people and places that became part of his story.

From there, the book digs into Alvarado's collection of lyrics, bringing together the complete lyrics from his solo albums for the first time, accompanied by their original album artwork. The result is a book that moves between personal stories and the words that emerged from them, offering a unique look at both the songwriter and the songs themselves.

Beautifully produced in full color, Howling on Paper offers longtime listeners a chance to revisit familiar songs on the page while giving new readers an opportunity to discover Alvarado's writing without the music surrounding it.

Alvarado's career has earned recognition in the press and radio across the US and Europe, as well as television song placements on national networks including PBS and MTV/VH1 programs.
