Born in
Kentucky, Steve Thorpe is currently living on the East Coast of
Florida in the U.S.A.
Steve is a
straight-ahead aggressive blues guitar player and singer. Even though
known for his hard hitting Chicago/Texas style, Steve will
occasionally pull out a dobro and do a set of his favorite delta songs
if the mood hits and the crowd is right.
Steve works through GBA
Talent, Burbank, California, with Geoffrey Blumenauer as president.
Steve has been Geoff’s emergency blues guitar slinger to cover shows
with the likes of Gregg Allman, Spencer Davis, Smokey Wilson and more.
Plus Geoffrey, (a.k.a. YN-3) pushes Steve’s live work and recordings.
Steve and Geoff, besides
being business associates, are also close personal friends. They share
exploding pistols, parking lots in the middle of the night, and long
train rides.
All blues, all the
time...except when Todd Taylor calls and says bring a dobro and
lets do some pickin'. Steve grew up in Eastern Kentucky listening
to bluegrass his entire childhood. Steve says that bluegrass style
dobro is what led him ultimately to the blues.
