About Me

Nominated for an "Outstanding Musical Achievement" award (contemporary category) by First Americans in the Arts, F.A.I.T.A.Twice As Good is the professional name of the music duo formed by Paul Anthony Steward (Son, born 1984) and Richard James Steward (Father, born 1951) from Clearlake Oaks, CA. Pomo Indians of the Elem Indian Colony. Richard had grown up around music all his life, learned to play guitar and sing. He mostly admired the Blues & Soul. When Paul was a young teenager, Richard taught Paul to play guitar, encouraging him to be a Lead Guitarist. Paul, inspired by B.B. King began imitating the Electric Blues Guitar he heard on the radio and CD's. Also practicing his vocals. Paul & Rich had played around with various bands in the beginning, gaining exposure and experience, but in May 2003 they debuted as "Twice As Good, 2XG" at Terry's Southern BBQ in Santa Rosa, CA. Since then they have been all over the the USA, released 3 albums, shared the stage with many legends and famous artists, and continue to garner success and praise. With Paul leading the band through flashy show tunes, with soulful vocals, screaming guitar, and unbelievable stage presence.The name "Twice As Good" isn't a claim of status. To Paul & Rich it is a dedication to hard work and quality of craft. About believing in one's self, not being shy, and having the courage to try something as hard as becoming a successful professional musician. They were told, "you can't make it in the music business, you got to be twice as good". They replied, "well all right then. We will be, Twice As Good".Twice As Good is committed to carrying on the tradition of the great Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, Country, Rock and Roll artists who have defined the music we treasure today. As well as developing their own style and personality and even infusing it with modern music. They have traveled all over the USA and Hawaii. They've earned a reputation of being one the hardest working bands, not to mention their intense shows, and all-around good guys. real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
