A pair of new rock documentaries – produced under the auspices of CALOP – tracks key players who ascended from the vibrant St. Louis scene of the 1970s to the national stage. “Old Dog, New Trick” follows Steve Scorfina, a founding member of Pavlov’s Dog and REO Speedwagon, as he balances a life in antiques-dealing with a re-launched career as a blues-rock bandleader, guitarist and vocalist. “The Pride of St. Louis” updates fans on the R&B-infused Mama’s Pride, led by brothers Pat and Danny Liston. The group has now reunited to popular acclaim, allowing Mama’s Pride an unlikely second act. Both films discuss the key role of the radio station KSHE-95 in breaking album-oriented rock acts during the heyday of freeform FM radio
Steve Scorfina is indeed one of the great guitar soloists to come out of the Midwest, USA. Scorfina garnered the same esteem and prestige as the great players of his time. Although he never reached the same pinnacle of fame as many of his peers, Scorfina still forged a respectable body of work and won the devotion of a sizeable number of rock fans around the world.

Cutting his teeth Scorfina has made his name early within midwestern Rock scene as a founding member of REO SPEEDWAGON in 1969. Writing thier first single (Gypsy Womans Passion). Only to leave to become a CBS recording artist with THE St. LOUIS K-SHE Classic favorite - and St. Louis's own - PAVLOV'S DOG.

In the Spoon River Band he appeared as a regular at Berry Park (Chuck Berry's farm). Then in late 1970's he moved to L.A and was signed with CBS recording artist Gulliver in 1980. He partnered up with David Caron, The Buck Bros. and Tom Nickeson and laid down his signature riffs on Carons song "We're All Clones" Later to be covered By Alice Cooper & The Smashing Pumpkins. After returning to the midwest in 1982 Scorfina joined forces with midwest's legendary lead guitarist & songwriter Mike Somerville formerly from HEAD EAST to form the Somerville-Scorfina Project which K-SHE95 pick up on Volume II of the K-SHE Seeds albums. In the 90's he raised his family and released his solo debut Polychrome Lovesongs 1998.
