Artist BIO:
At age 13 he formed his 1st serious rock band Rat Race Choir (RRC). Years later RRC broke onto the NY music scene from South Hampton, Long Island after playing an extended summer concert series there. RRC went on to perform nationally for over 25 years performing up to 300 nights a year. Steve served as drummer, producer and second lead vocalist. Steve performed with RRC exclusively for over 10 years. He then added other musical outlets to his career by touring and/or recording with other well-known artists. Lengthy international tours with Leslie West/Mountain, John Entwistle/The Who, Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Heart’s Ann Wilson and others became a huge part of Steve’s career. One off recording sessions or performances with Richie Blackmore, Joe Walsh and Billy Squier also became a part of Steve’s musical life. The most prolific and significant of all was his work with the late John Entwistle best know as the iconic bass guitarist for The Who. The two musicians became the best of friends. Steve produced, performed, co-wrote and toured with The John Entwistle Band until John’s death in 2002. It was Steve that wrote and delivered the eulogy at John Entwistle’s memorial service in London  and produced and directed the documentary film An Ox’s Tale: The John Entwistle Story.
