KOKO TAYLOR...
"Blues is my life," Taylor once said. "It's a true feeling that comes from the heart, not something that just comes out of my mouth. Blues is what I love, and blues is what I always do."

“Tradition" is the key word founder Clarence Castillo uses to describe the music of Step Aside. Based out of the great city of San Antonio and from the South Texas Region. Step Aside can truly be regconized as a true "hot" Texas Blues Band.
The Blues that Texas has had to offer over the years has had a huge impact on the sound of Step Aside. Though original in music & lyrics but yet staying true to the "roots" and the soul & spirit of the blues Step Aside's music has a touch of the great "Blues Legends" such as T. Bone Walker, "The Iceman" Albert Collins, "The Texas Cannonball" Freddie King, "The Guitar Hurricane" Stevie Ray Vaughan. But other blues artists are thrown into the mix as well coming from the likes of I'm A Man" Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Albert King, Luther Allison, Howlin Wolfe and a great host of others.
The goal of Step Aside is to keep the "Tradition" alive and to help in paving the "Blues Highway" that the great blues legends have layed down for the next generation of "Blues" artists to come.
