About Me

www.onelightburning.com

Yo! My name is Steve and I was born in Athens Greece. I moved to the USA when I was 6 months old, blah, blah, blah. I lived in northern California until 1996 and have been in Los Angeles ever since. I LOVE music. Have I mentioned that I love music? I work in the music industry and I play guitar/sing in various projects on the side, whenever I can. I toured with Bret Michaels (Poison) for his 2003 solo release "Songs of Life" and musical directed his following three tours . And because I am asked so often if I am still Bret's guitar player: I still do a few things with him here and there, but in the summer of 2005, I finally teamed Bret up with some dear friends of mine, "Evick", and they've been keeping the ROCK alive ever since!

"Dim the lights, light a candle...Welcome!"

The Comebacks - Opening Weekend

I cannot put into words how cool, and somewhat strange, it is to hear a song you've written and performed CRANKED in a huge movie theater.  Very surreal to say the least. On Friday, I went to see...
