Steve has been playing piano since discovering the instrument in an empty room in a Colorado ski lodge at the age of 5. Over the years, he has engaged himself in various musical exploits, from starting a whimsical rock band in Somerville to gigging around London with the university jazz society during graduate school. As an archaeologist with a longtime love of travel, he has a penchant for finding pianos in odd places around the world—hotel lobbies, city parks, airport hallways—and entertaining anyone who’ll listen.
