STEVE HUNTER started playing guitar when he was 8 years old and has dedicated his life to music... His professional career began in 1971 when he joined a band called ‘Detroit featuring MITCH RYDER’.
With that band he recorded his first ever album and the producer of that album was BOB EZRIN... A mutual respect developed between Bob and Steve and over the course of the next few years they worked on many projects together including four ALICE COOPER albums, PETER GABRIEL'S first solo album which included ‘SOLSBURY HILL’, and LOU REED'S ‘Berlin’ album.
.He later toured with all of the above-mentioned artists as well as touring and/or recording with JULIAN LENNON, BETTE MIDLER in the movie ‘THE ROSE’, co-wrote and recorded songs with DAVID LEE ROTH, toured and recorded with TRACY CHAPMAN and was involved in scoring films and music production.
Along the way he also recorded two solo albums, the first being ‘SWEPT AWAY’ with Ezrin producing and the second self-produced album called ‘THE DEACON’.... In late '06 Steve joined up with LOU REED again to do a live version of Lou's landmark album ‘BERLIN’ from which there is a live DVD and cd.
Steve released his first solo CD for many years in 08; “HYMNS FOR GUITAR' is a collection of old American hymns wrapped in a blanket of calming and inspiring guitar, executive producer BOB EZRIN. A book of Steve's hymn arrangements in TAB plus CD, now available on AMAZON....‘SHORT STORIES’, Steve’s latest CD is a collection of instrumentals full of mood and color, two tracks from this cd are now in an EMMY nominated video about Christ Child House boys home in Mitchigan.

REVIEWS: MUSIC MART MAGAZINE (Jan 2005) ..................“Its not every day an artist-in the old school sense- offers a new album with original material and individuality, one that can be listened to from start to finish without feeling the need to skip tracks. An excellent debut album from such a classy singer, my tired ears haven’t been so vocally soothed for a long time”
BLUES MATTERS! (Dec 2004) ....... “A remarkable debut album by a Brit.girl and what's more all self composed!!” Here is a lady that certainly deserves some attention.. Where has she been hiding all these years? Maturing like a good wine is my only answer!"
