Steve graduated from The University of Colorado in 1973 with a B.A. in philosophy. Having played guitar since he was 13, he made the practical decision to become a musician instead of a philosopher. He played in folk clubs in the Denver/Boulder area while studying for two years with Jazz guitarist, Dale Bruning. In 1976, he moved to Boston and attended Berklee College of Music while also commuting regularly to New York City to study with Jazz guitarist, Chuck Wayne. After playing Jazz gigs in the Boston/Rhode Island area, he moved to Chicago in 1979 and was hired by the Old Town School in 1980. In Chicago, he has played and “gigged” in all manner of bands, all manner of styles, in all manner of venues. He’s still goin’ strong.
