"Steven Fromholz (born June 8, 1945) is an entertainer, known mostly as a singer and songwriter.

Born in Temple, Texas, Fromholz began performing while he was serving in the United States Navy during the 1960s. After leaving the Navy, he teamed with Dan McCrimmon to create the group Frummox.[1] Fromholz also has played with Stephen Stills and Rick Roberts before going solo.

Over the years, many respected musicians have recorded songs written by Fromholz. Most notable among these are Willie Nelson singing "I'd Have to be Crazy" and Lyle Lovett singing "Texas Trilogy" and "Bears." Other artists that have recorded his songs include Hoyt Axton, John Denver, and Jerry Jeff Walker.

In addition to singing and songwriting, Fromholz has dabbled in acting, playwriting, poetry, record producing, narrating, jingle-writing, and whitewater river guiding. In 2007, he was named Poet Laureate of the State of Texas by the Texas State Legislature.[2] His latest book is Steven Fromholz: New and Selected Works.

He has two daughters, Darcie (to whom the song "Dear Darcie" is dedicated) and Felicity (for whom his record label, Felicity Records, is named)."
