Steve St. Pierre – Guitar/Vocals – Steve started playing at the age of 12 years old and never looked back. He knew what he wanted to do. Steve has opened for REO Speedwagon, Head East, Cheap Trick, Starcastle and Styx while still in high school. He wanted to learn more about the music scene and felt he had to move to a bigger and faster city. He made the move to Chicago and also Milwaukee where he played with local and regional Blues and Rock acts. In the late 1970’s he was the founding member of a band called “Tusk”; a very progressive R & B bad that developed a reputation as an opening act for a number of national acts: Kim Simmons, The Police, Elvis Costello and The Talking Heads. He caught the eye of Ray Raniey (Beatles fame), who signed Steve to a 7 year management contract as a side-man where Steve toured with a number of national acts. After moving to the Indianapolis area and working 6 sets – 6 nights a week, Steve met Phil Juillerat and they later started a band called “Longdistance”. Longdistance was awarded “Entertainer of the Year” by 95.5 FM & 104.4 FM “The Bear” radio stations. They were also the only house band at “Little Bit of Texas” (now known at 8 Seconds Saloon), where broke attendance records consistently. From there they went out on the road recording their first CD in Nashville, TN. They became the opening act at Little Bit of Texas for artists such as Brian White, Toby Keith, Confederate Railroad, Colin Raye, Leroy Parnell, Lone Star, Chris Cagle, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley among others. He has made his mark in the mid-west music scene and continues to do so today. Steve has played with Past Midnight, Shy Town Cowboys, and 8 Seconds Saloon band of the year (2008) “Blue River Band”.
