Steve was in rehearsal to go on tour with David Crosby before David’s unexpected passing, and will cherish the time spent putting the show together. Subsequently Steve put together a group called “Our House” to honor the music of Crosby and his CSNY bandmates, which led to 2 multi city tours, with more to follow this coming year. “Lookout Mountain”, a new project with James Raymond (son of David Crosby) and renowned photography Henry Diltz, celebrates the music of the Laurel Canyon era.
