Steven Taunton
I'm a guitarist, that's what I do.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've played with several different outfits from alternative to blues to hard rock to country... Did one US tour back in 89/90 that was a while ago. Been play about 30 years now.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live roughly three times a week, mostly in central and northern Wisonsin and Michigan. I enjoy it when the juices are flowing, not so much when they are not. Most of my "special moments" have come when there is hardly anybody around and the band is just in the grove.
