Hello Boys and Girls, sit down while I tell you all about Steve Caraway. After witnessing a cataclysmic musical event as a child he decided that the artistic path (painting) that hed chosen just didnt have the promise of screaming girls that music might have, so he cajoled his parents into getting him a cheap guitar. Years later, after somewhat learning to play said guitar Steve formed various aggregations of misspent youths and dubious musical expertise until one day he found himself employed in a GOOD band, and in Baltimore, no less.go figure. Hanging out with Ravyns and Face Dancers and others of ill repute he burned many bridges until he departed B-Mo for Boston, chasing dreams and girls,and well, more girls, until he found himself in Night After Night a REALLY good band who signed with Barry Goudreau of Boston and Bob Buziak of L.A. manage, they did, and N.A.N. recorded a batch of tunes for MCA Records. After deciding N.A.N. wasnt right for MCA Barry and Bob managed on until Bob was offered the presidency of RCA.are you following this? Bob took the job and N.A.N. split. To be continued.Continuing on Steve formed a new band with former Bleeding Hearts(Lynn, Ma.) John "Jazz" Abbott, "Big" Dan McCauley, and Mark"No Quotes" Naimo. Said Hearts decided on combining forces that they were actually, in fact, big trouble, and thusly the band was named Big Trouble. B.T. wrote and performed their brand of punkish, Stonesish, Replacementish and many other ishes, rock n roll for almost ten years opening for many and finally closing for themselves in the late 90s. Sadly both Dan and Mark passed shortly after the band called it quits and both Jazz and Steve semi-retired, devasted from the loss. No joke. Steve played sporadically with various cover bands until 1999 when, while working for floating Casinos he started writing again. Marriage, children and a stint as Entertainment Director for a Casino Cruise line followed until the backlog of material begged to finally be recorded and released. Thus in the summer of 2006 armed with 6 and 12-string guitars, 4 and 8-string basses, keyboards, and drummer extraordinaire, Jay Dellisola, Steve entered Rockpile Recording in Rockport, MA. Now a year later Hurricane Season, the album, has been completed with the help of Engineer/Producer Greg Dann, keyboard player Bill DEon, guitarists Gary Backstrom, Mike "Mr. Bogus" McMahon, Curt Florczak, pedal steeler Bob New, Grammy Nominee Mark Earley on saxophone, and on vocals John "Jazz" Abbott. Please watch for what the future brings. To be continued.
