Along with Steve, the band features long time band member Don Gabis (bass, vocals), multi instrumentalist Bob Stander (Pete Townshend, Paul Townshend, The Platters) and Shawn Murray (late Willy Deville drummer). Their music is steeped in a wide Americana palette ranging from old-timey folk to full throttle rock ‘n roll. The songwriting often portrays themes related to the down-trodden, the vanishing landscape, the evils of corporate greed, political corruption, and hypocrisy in general.The band will be playing songs from Steve’s newly released self-titled album, “Sweet Simple Life” (2017) along with material from the WellDiggers and Fourteen Feet.
