An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and digital musician, Steve sings and is the bass player for Jam-Bone but a bass player with a twist. Steve plays a Conkin 7-string bass, which allows him to essentially double as a rhythm guitar player and a bass player, giving a robust punch to rhythmic foundation of the band. As a guitarist, bass player and songwriter, Steve draws his inspiration from a diverse mix including; The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Geddy Lee, Phish, Grateful Dead, Les Claypool, Vic Wooten, and U2.
Steve has won numerous music competitions including, the American Songwriting Contest and digital music contests sponsored by Acid Planet and Thomas Dolby's Beatnik. In 1991 his virtual band "the Willies" was one of the finalists in the "best band on the net" competition.
In addition to owning his own web design company and playing in Jam-Bone, Steve currently works part time helping disabled young adults create music in the Arts Access Program at the Matheny School in Peapack, NJ.
