Steve's Page
Steve Lewis has played the 5-string banjo most of his adult life.
Pete Seeger¹s “Children¹s Concert at Town Hall” attracted his attention, and a
live concert by master, old-time fiddler Tommy Jarrell and
banjoist Blanton Owen set the hook. Since that
time Steve has been a regular contestant, performer, and instructor at festivals and fiddler¹s conventions
from San Diego to San Francisco. For
over twelve years Steve produced and played for the
monthly contra dance in Brentwood. He continues to play banjo for dances
and leads an old-time music jam on the first Sunday of each month
at the CTMS Folk Music Center in
Encino. Steve denies rumors of banjo obsession
Steve lives in the Los Angeles area and can be reached at this
