Community radio is the perfect forum for it.
Steve traces his love for this kind of music back to his West Tennessee childhood, where he spent hours listening on his transistor radio to the soul tunes coming out of Nashville and nearby Memphis. Big names such as James Brown and His Fabulous Flames and the Ike and Tina Turner Review came to Steve's hometown of Jackson. He graduated from Memphis State University and met his wife, Mindy, while in Tucson, Arizona. The couple lived in Chicago for nearly 15 years, where Steve's love of blues was nurtured at neighborhood clubs. Upon moving to Sacramento in 1996, Steve immediately discovered KVMR and within a year he was a broadcaster.
