Steve splits drum duties with Gerry and gives the band the luxury of having two of the best drummers in the area. He also has
the coolest rehearsal space.

Bio
Started out with boxes in the basement and finally graduated to a garage where I’ve been ever since.
(My parents were very supportive ... of the move.) Bands: Olde Suede, Quarter Moon, Legacy.
Main Influences
My parents always
had music playing in our home and even though it wasn’t my style, I think it definitely developed my ear and sense of rhythm. Growing
up during the British Invasion was truly cool and is a major reason for playing in this band. (I know these tunes.... I lived these
tunes.)
John Bonham to me was the greatest rock ‘n roll drummer ever. What he did just with his right foot, was incredible. I
do listen to all sorts of music, but love to listen to jazz drumming .... lots of freedom and expression.
Favorite Songs the
Band Plays
· Moondance, because I don’t keep the beat on this one too much (thanks, Don), but play it with ‘lots of freedom and
expression’. (Where did I read that?)
· Run Away is a real close second, because I believe this song is going to evolve the more
we play it.
· Under the Boardwalk, thanks to Paul.
Favorite Things About Playing in Bob’s Brother’s Band
What started out
as a few musicians getting together for fun and now look. To see a dance floor get crowded. Some of our special choreography.
Favorite
Gear
My old set of Roger’s drums. (They never get miked.)
