bassist,

Picking songs off Bay Area radio at age 13 and playing in bands throughout high school inspired Steve's college move to Santa Barbara, CA in 1993 to study music. While completing his UC degree in Ethnomusicology, he picked up the acoustic upright bass, focusing his performance practice predominantly on American, Mexican and Middle Eastern music. Now based out of , and with over m o

c a decade and a half of playing experience, Steve’s diverse background . a d n

a along with his warm tone and creative approach make him an in- w x a m

demand bassist both in the studio and on stage. When home in SF /
