Love the music of Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Merle Haggard & Bobby Darin. Growing up in a family with older siblings, the oldies and rock'n'roll were more prevelant than country. You will hear some of that influence in the songs that Stevie writes.
Stevie was born with a microphone in his hand and loves the stage. "If I can make you smile or cry with my songs, if I can evoke some kind of emotion I've done my job". He started taking his music seriously several years ago, when in 1997 he found his musical niche in country. A friend of Stevie's talked him into competing in a local country competition where he beat out 16 other performers for the top title of the day Modern Male Entertainer. Music has always been in his blood, starting out as a young boy, age 9 performing on Minstrel Shows directed by his Dad. He loved the spotlight and loves, to this day to ham it up.
Since that first competition Stevie has won many state, regional and national competitions with his brand of entertainment, comedy and his great personality. Stevie has also been awarded many special awards in-cluding, "Dick Curless Memorial Award" "Ken McKenzie Memorial Award" "Sammy Davis Memorial Award" and several rising star and horizon awards. His music has afforded him the opportunity to entertain fans around the world, touring in the U.S.A., Europe and Australia.
Stevie wrote his first song in 1997, an anniversary song he wrote for his wife called, "What Do You See In Me". That song won several awards. Since then he has written many other songs, recorded 4 Country, 1 Christmas and 1 Country Gospel albums. It's been a great ride for this down home country boy with a heart of gold. Says Stevie, "I'm livin' and lovin' a Country Music Dream! I will continue as long as the good Lord allows!"
I hope you enjoy the perfomance slide show to the left and also the newly added video of "She's A Naughty Girl". This song was written by Stevie & a friend, Harry King. The video is a live performance from Range Pond Campground in Maine and video'd by Russ Letender. The video is edited and kindly donated by dj Country Rose.....thank you Country Rose!
THANK YOU to all the fans out there, to all the dj's playing my music world wide, I really appreciate it. I'd also like to thank Rhonnie Scheurman of RhonBob Promotions for all the great promotion she does for me and to Gary Bradshaw of Western Heart Promotions, who first got me started on this path after I met him in Las Vegas in 1997.
