Steve Crenshaw, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter

Virtuoso guitar playing by Steve Crenshaw has made him one of the most impressive guitar slingers anywhere. Steve's style, developed since he first picked up a guitar at the age of 5 and influenced by such greats as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn, displays a scorching intensity and blues-drenched authority. Widespread recognition of his extraordinary talent has brought him a host of opportunities.

In 1997, the Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company, to celebrate their 95th Anniversary, flew Steve to Milwaukee to film their parts and accessories promotional video. That tape was shipped out with every new bike purchased.

Denver radio personalities Rick Lewis and Michael Floorwax of 103.5 The Fox, in 1998 began championing Steve as a young prodigy. So impressed were they with Steve's talent, that they bought him a rare and quite valuable classic Fender Stratocaster. Their influence got Steve his first appearance at the world famous Redrocks Amphitheater. During the early days of this relationship, Steve helped Lewis & Floorwax formulate their popular and enduring band, "The Groovehawgs".

Steve has shared the stage with such national acts as The Doobie Brothers, Creedance Clearwater Revisited, Lynard Skynard, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Shemikia Copeland, Blue Oyster Cult, Johnny Lang, Tab Benoit, Papa Chubby, Tinsley Ellis, Firefall, Chris Duarte Group, and Hazel Miller. In addition, Steve now also tours the nation occasionally with world renowned "Ragin' Cajun", fiddler Doug Kershaw.

Steve's unique style and guitar mastery have recently been recognized with an endorsement from G&L Guitars, the company started by legendary guitar designer, Leo Fender. Steve tours the country giving guitar clinics in which he demonstrates these fine guitars and shares his knowledge of technique and style.

An amazing guitarist and soulful vocalist for his own band, The Blues Shop, Steve delivers the intensity of a lifetime of experience to every song he plays and sings, sharing with every listener his personal, intimate acquaintance with the blues and his genuine, joyful exuberance for living.
