    Music, music, music...and a little history, aviation, sailboating, Italian culture, cooking, and passion for all things good. Like playing a rock show. And coffee on the balcony in New Orleans. Hell, most anything in New Orleans. Prayer candles and The Foundation Room make for a great night. Ask me about it sometime. Oh yeah, did I mention music?
  • Müzik

    Top 5 (in no particular order) - The Police, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, The Clash. Go figure. The next 100 bands on my list will suprise you, but you don't want to read about that...

Being a bass player is one thing. Being a bass player that fits in to any musical situation is another. To find that unique trait, look no further than Steve Cook. Steve has been called ‘A bass player’s bass player’ for his solid, uncompromising groove, taste, and energy. Steve got his musical career off the ground at 8 years old, when he took up violin. After learning the saxophone and guitar, a schoolmate convinced him that the world didn’t have enough bass players. At age 13, clenching $100, Steve went to the local pawn shop and purchased his first bass. He hasn’t looked back since.

Steve’s pursuit of music took him from his home in Virginia Beach, VA to college in Hattiesburg, MS. At the University of Southern Mississippi, Steve spent four years in the highly acclaimed 12 o’clock Jazz Lab. Armed with a new degree in Marketing, Steve headed to Nashville for almost two years of showcases and demo work. He was then called back to Hattiesburg by former classmates who had forged a decent name for themselves in a new band called King Konga.

King Konga was an acoustic-percussion based pop group with comparisons to Dave Matthews and Edwin McCain. The band was a four-piece with a percussionist rounding out the quartet. “I had to find my place quickly”, remembers Steve “there was a lot going on musically, so I was the foundation, playing simple, yet melodic lines to compliment my mates”. Steve performed with King Konga for seven years, logging over 1200 shows all over the U.S., including Woodstock ‘99, and countless opening slots for national acts. Never being able to capitalize on the success with a label deal, King Konga separated to pursue various projects.

“Being out of a band for the first time in seven years was a hard thing”, Steve remembers, “and as a musician, not having to be somewhere at 10 PM on a Friday night is an odd feeling.” Steve spent his newfound free time getting back in to a learning mode. “I pulled out the old jazz charts, and would just jam for hours.” Steve also kept busy doing gigs and album work in and around Atlanta, GA.

Steve didn’t have much down time, though joining the melodic rock band Course of Nature in October 2003. Course of Nature was a new musical direction for Steve, and a great opportunity to play a whole new genre of music. Steve muses, “I was raised on the Police, went to school for jazz, got paid for country demos, and made a name playing pop rock. Hard rock seemed like the next logical step. Look for me in a polka band 6 years from now”. In March of 2004, Steve and the band parted ways, forcing yet another jump for Steve. This time, coming full circle and moving back to Nashville.

Since moving to Nashville, Steve has been very busy recording and performing with a wide range of artists such as Sister Hazel, Megan McCauley, Trent Tomlinson, Jen Foster, Sarah Bettens, Sam Fisher, Patrick Davis, and Jen Porter. Steve has signed on to join Bucky Covington (Lyric Street) on the road who is supporting his #1 debut release 'Bucky Covington'. Steve also writes a bass-oriented column for Premier Guitar Magazine.
