STEVIE SKREEBS
BASS GUITAR * BACKING VOCALS
Stevie was born and raised in Niagara Falls Ontario and had
dreams of being a hockey star. He was inspired by the great
Bobby Orr of the Boston Bruins and modeled himself after him.
Playing for All Star teams year after year it looked like he might
get a shot at the pros. But once he hit his teens and saw the movie
"The Song Remains The Same" by Led Zeppelin it changed his life.
Tired of getting injured and the politics of hockey he got himself
a guitar and starting letting loose. Playing in basement bands
with his high school friends was lots of fun, but nobody wanted
to play bass guitar. So Stevie being the team player that he is
would play the bass notes on his guitar. But lacking the bottom
end that is needed finally got himself a bass and never looked back.
His good friend Greg Fraser was in a touring rock band called
Pharoah, and when an opening for bass was needed he suggested
Stevie. Both being under age (16yrs old) they went on tour and
had a blast. Once Stevie tasted the Rock & Roll lifestyle he was
hooked. After more member changes the band broke up and
Greg went back on tour with other bands while Stevie stayed in
the N. Falls and honed his chops and developed his skills with
local bands in the area. By the time they were 19, Greg who still
kept in touch with Stevie, asked him if he wanted to start a
recording project. Stevie said yes and the search for other band
members was on. After about a year recording with different
people they finally felt they had the winning combination of guys
to play and record with. And that band became known around the
world as Brighton Rock. For the next 10 years Brighton Rock
released 4 cds, 6 videos, toured the world and partied their
asses off! With Gold records on their wall and the pride of
knowing that their hard work and determination payed off,
Stevie and the guys called it a day once the "Alternative music"
domination took over. Touring for 10 straight years was a lot of
fun but mentally and physically draining. So Stevie decided to
take an extended vacation from the road and stay home and jam
with his friends and maybe play with some local bands. Stevie
was quite content to hang loose. But after a few years, the
urge for original rock & roll was burning inside. His long
time friend Greg Fraser was having the same feeling and called
him up and said, "Let's do it!" Stevie said, "You could'nt have
called at a better time. They recruited local drum legend
Phil Epp and after some serious rehearsing headed into the
studio and recorded music that is based on their roots and
love of kick ass, hell raising, fun rock & roll!
