STEVE MANCUSO
I got started playing music at a very early age. I played clarinet in school band since 4th grade. Around the same time, I started learning guitar and keyboard, since those instruments were a bit more suitable for attracting girls (duh!)
In Middle School, I audtioned for a school program called Rock Ensemble (Rock on Mr. Binder!!!) This was a group of 7th & 8th Graders who performed Rock Shows for our own school and others in the area. That's how I got my first "cherry high" of playing live and became addicted to it.
Ever since, music has been at the center of my life, whether it's been doing gigs for fun, a few extra buck, or (for the last 12 or so years) as my profession.
I love nothing more than performing live for crowds and I'm sure I'll die with one hand on the piano and the other on a beer - but I'd have it no other way...
