Steve is working professional singer/songwriter/musician, from the Cleveland Ohio area. He sang, played guitar, and wrote the regional hit �Funky Poodle� as a member of �The Wild Horses�. The song was a �heat seeker� on the Billboard Charts, and went on to be the biggest regional hit, receiving airplay on 101.7 WMMS, as well as 106.5, and KROC in L.A., and was included in a compilation CD on Oglio Records, as well as Esquire Records.
As a member of �Wild Horses�, the band was voted the �Number 1� band for 5 years in the Cleveland Area, due mostly to Steve�s writing, singing, and performing ability. Steve has written hundreds of songs, and recorded 2 albums while with the Horses, writing most of the tunes.
Steve is honored to be included in Deanna Adams book, �Rock n Roll and the Cleveland Connection�, as a big contributor to the N.E. Ohio�s music scene.
He has shared the stage with The Ramones, Southside Johnny, Warren Zevon, The Beach boys, Michael Stanley, David Johansen, and many more.
While a member of �Golden Hall�, he shared the stage with Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Hal Ketchum and many others. He also wrote and recorded a number of songs for this WEA project.
Steve is a working professional musician, continually honing his writing and performing skills. He currently performs with the bands, �BIG ZIPPER�, �Sumrada�, and solo/acoustically, and hosts a local blues jam with �the Bad Boys of Blues�. He has a CD (w/Big Zipper) that will be released this spring, with all original songs written by Steve.
Steve is a team player, with the talent to write, sing, and contribute to any worthy project.
