An
accomplished multi-instrumentalist and digital
musician, Steve sings and is the bass player for
Silent-Z and Jam-Bone but a bass player with a twist. Steve
plays a Conkin 7-string bass, which allows him to
essentially double as a rhythm guitar player and a
bass player, giving a robust punch to rhythmic
foundation of the band. As a guitarist, bass player
and songwriter, Steve draws his inspiration from a
diverse mix including; The Beatles, Frank Zappa,
Geddy Lee, Phish, Grateful Dead, Les Claypool, Vic
Wooten, and U2.
Steve has won numerous music competitions including,
the American Songwriting Contest and digital music
contests sponsored by Acid Planet and Thomas Dolby's
Beatnik. In 1991 his virtual band "the Willies" was
one of the finalists in the "best band on the net"
competition.
In addition to owning his own web design company and
playing in Silent-Z and Jam-Bone, Steve currently works part time
helping disabled young adults create music in the
Arts Access Program at the Matheny School in Peapack,
NJ. |
