Step Away Inc.

About Me

STEP AWAY INC began playing in 2001 when offered an opening slot at The Canal Club. After a 5 year tour of MANY of the establishments throughout Richmond and the surrounding areas STEP AWAY INC. is ready for more. Artists such as Godsmack, Chevelle, Foo-Fighters, Van Halen, The Deftones and Lit made the baseof STEP AWAY INC.'s cover song list, whereas bands like Prince, Inxs, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Digital Underground add the unexpected flavor to the shows. With 30 original songs, better than 125 cover songs and countless venues and incredible fans and friends thwy have experienced, STEP AWAY INC. are ready to return to the stage. On Fridy night June 13, 2008 STEP AWAY INC. will play for the first time in better than 2 years with our friends in 4PLAY at the Benny's Tavern in Colonial Heights, VA. Hopefully this will be the beginning of another great journey for us! See you there,
