A 30-year-old singer/songwriter, Steve was born into a family of performers. His grandfather was a drummer from the Big Band era who performed with such legends as Frank Sinatra and Louie Armstrong. His grandmother was a member of an acrobatic dancing group who toured the world in the 30s and 40s. They were called the 4 American Girls and they were kicked out of Germany in 1939 when Hitler attended a show and the girls refused to salute him. The Gestapo raided their dressing room, put them on a boat back to America and told them never to return.
Steve has three full length CDs with 2001's "Chasing Shadows" and 2002's "The Ordinary Man Sessions" now paired with "Hidden Truth" which was released in March of 2006. His original songs are getting attention from Delaware Valley radio stations WSTW & WVUD and those songs are met with equal enthusiasm when Steve plays local clubs. As of this date, Steve has had 14 of his songs played on local radio stations and MP3 sites. He has also become a mainstay at the annual Delaware Music Festival and Dewey Beach Music Festival and Conference. Furthermore, the music of Steve Ketterer has been heard in 15 US states, 6 countries, and his resumes also include auditions for such television shows as Nashville Star and American Idol. In 2004, Steve took part in the 93.7 WSTW "Do They Know It's Christmas" CD which raised over $12,000 for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. The CD was promoted on everything from Delawares Tim Qualls Show to NBC 10 news in Philadelphia. Other charitable contributions include benefit performances for the Alzheimers Association, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Rehoboth Beach YMCA Scholarship Program and AIDS Delaware.
On November 27, 2002, Steve sang "Sweet Caroline" with Neil Diamond on the Caroline Rhea Show. The show was broadcast on the ABC network as well as the ABC Family cable channel. When Neil handed Steve the microphone, Neil was seen telling Caroline how good Steve was. Steve not only performed before a national television audience, he also performed for his childhood musical hero. Neil was impressed and so were his fans. Neil Diamond message boards talked about it for days and lots of those fans bought Steve Ketterer CDs. It was a moment Steve will never forget however; don't expect him to stop there.
Steve took to the road with the release of Hidden Truth and became the frontman for the Steve Ketterer Acoustic Trio. From 2005-2008 they brought their unique acoustic show to some of the biggest and best venues in the tri-state area. New fans were made at just about every show and every night was a good time. Around this time, Steve also became a fixture performing the National Anthem for the Wilmington Blue Rocks minor league baseball team. According to a team official, Steve became a favorite of not only the team but of season ticket holders as well. This lead to Steve taking a chance on a much larger stage. In August of 2008, Steve won the New York Giants "Albany Idol" competition. As the prize, Steve performed the National Anthem in Giants Stadium prior to kickoff of the Super Bowl XLII rematch between the New England Patriots and the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants on August 28, 2008.
A new CD is in the works!
