Originally from Toledo OH, STEVE MIGNANO is among a handful of “young gun” guitarists that have traced the lineage of modern rock to classic rock, in turn developing a profound love and respect for the blues. When Steve was in high school, his father piqued his interest in the blues by giving him a gold-mine collection of vintage vinyls to mill through, among them East West by Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Super Session by Al Kooper/Stephen Stills/Michael Bloomfield, an anthology of Duane Allman’s contributions to the southern R&B circuit, and a compilation by the late Roy Buchanan – some of Steve’s all time favorite records to this day.

After high school Steve studied at Musician's Institute under Scott Henderson and Keith Wyatt among others, synthesizing his blues and rock leanings with jazz and world music. He then toured the Midwest with Johnny Reed & The Houserockers for three years opening for national blues acts such as Larry McCray, Lady Sunshine and the Detroit Women of the Blues.

Now based out of Denver CO, Steve's streamlined, soulful Les Paul sound can be heard in clubs all over the region with Reverend Hooch and also with a host of top-booked regional and national acts of all genres including the Ashley Buchart Band, Mountain Jam, and award-winning Native American violinist Arvel Bird. Studio credits include recording sessions with Chris Guillot at Cherry Sound Recording Studios and Christophe Eagleton of Eagleton Productions
