I am a singer and performer. I also play rhythm guitar, percussion, bass, trumpet, and piano. I have a background in audio production technology but prefer performance over production. After my long time group Idle Red split up in 2011, I began performing acoustic and have been doing so full time since 2012. In 2014 I expanded my solo acoustic act and teamed up with good friend and bassist Alix Prappas to create the duo Steve & Alix. We perform multiple times a week on an a for-hire basis but also write and perform original pieces. Currently I am available for hire as both a solo or duo act (rates vary based on clients needs and dates). I am also working on a new fully original act called The Emerald Empire and we plan to release material early 2015.
