Steve began playing music in his early 20's on the single string
acoustic washtub bass working with a local string band, The FUT. A
short time later he began playing the four string electric bass and over
the past 25 years has worked with local Portland Blues Bands such as
Bubba T and the Fabulous Deltoids, Jo Newton and the Briquettes and The
Sterno Kings. In the '80's he added the electric and acoustic upright
bass to his repertoire and in the nineties Steve began humbling himself
by working on jazz bass. In this capacity he currently plays with the
Swinging Johnsons and BOSBB.
