About Steve


Drums
Music runs in Steve’s family, and his passion for it has shaped his life for decades. Drums have always been his true instrument, though he plays guitar with real love as well. Steve has written, recorded, sang and produced many songs, playing every instrument himself.
His road started in his hometown of Tacoma, cutting his teeth on originals before moving onto covers. A move to Anchorage dropped him into a music scene on fire, where he founded Magic and spent years playing NCO clubs and events for major oil and airline companies. The kind of black-tie affairs with ice sculptures, shrimp cocktails, and live auctions. He also drummed for Bikes, to enter a talent search contest, and one of their original songs landed a spot on the Best of Alaska LP.
Steve later moved back to Tacoma and formed Kid Glove with former Bikes bandmates, spending years in the studio producing original music. From there, he joined 3 Hands, followed by Edgewood, and then BluesSlinger, three chapters that each produced a CD.
He closed out his Tacoma years in Brand X, holding down the local bar circuit.
In 2025, Steve moved to Pasco to be closer to family and auditioned for Fat Fox in 2026. This is where the next chapter begins.
Musical Influences Toto, Deep Purple, Bloodrock, Allman Brothers, to name just a few. He loves most music styles and often brings elements of progressive fusion into his own playing.
