After graduating he joined a local rock band that got noticed by a Toronto talent agency and soon toured for 10 years, beginning with Lizard King (a tribute to the Doors), followed by various Top 40 Bands, and various solo piano gigs and studio work. Returning home, he joined Buffalo’s blues band Win, Lose or Draw which, throughout the 90’s, won numerous local awards. Changing his focus Steve formed a classic soul band, The Soul Providers, that was also widely successful winning multiple awards. During that time, he was involved with an original band Copper and Gin that got critical acclaim for their unique Americana sound. After the pandemic, Steve went back to his rock roots and enjoys entertaining as an accomplished vocalist as well as keyboardist in the band Mo Porter. Steve is always looking for new challenges and looks forward to playing the unique keyboards needed for Anybody Out There.
