Steve Raleigh, guitarist, composer, arranger, producer, and educator, makes his home in New York’s Hudson Valley where he teaches music at his home studio in New Paltz NY, as an adjunct music professor at Bard College, at SUNY New Paltz, and at SUNY Dutchess County. He is also owner and operator of LWR Productions Recording Studio.
Drummer Peter O’Brien toured the US with Brother Jack McDuff, and from 1984- 1985 all over the US and Canada with the Edgar Winter Band. The band, which featured the legendary singer Jerry LaCroix (original lead singer for White Trash), is the only one that has performed the jazz-inflected fusion material from Edgar’s first ground breaking record “Entrance” (Epic), as well as his rock and blues music. During this time, Peter also performed several dates with Roy Buchanan, including a sold-out show at the Beacon Theatre with Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. From 1986 – 1987, Peter toured Europe with Mark McMillan (songwriter for Chaka Khan). In early 1988, Peter moved to Woodstock, New York from New York City and began working with John Hall soon after. In 1989, Peter became a member of Hall’s band Orleans (Still The One, Dance With Me). Peter has appeared on seven cd’s (four with Orleans, three with Hall), three tours of Japan (two with Orleans, one with Hall), and countless US tours and dates (including Woodstock 94) and had a feature article on him published in Modern Drummer’s Rhythm and News (Japan).
