Steve spends his time musically with 3 choirs, Arts Chorale of Greater Lansing and the MSU Choral Union and an ensemble of fine musicians at All Saints Episcopal church. Steve attends 3-5 live music events each month, keeping fresh with what's going on around town. His repertoire is mostly folk from the 60s and 70s and feels honored to do a Ben Hassenger-penned tune tonight.
