The Rigbees: Steve Brown
vocals, guitars
Logistics
Born, raised and still lives in the sleepy town of Willow Grove, PA.
Musical History
Took 6 drum lessons around age 9 or 10. Practiced on a kit consisting of a Sears catalog and a cymbal mounted on a bedpost. Switched to guitar a few years later because: a) I wanted to be Pete Townshend, and b) my parents were nice enough to give me one. Taught myself to play, started writing songs and haven't ever thought to stop.

| Favorite Thing About... | |
|---|---|
| ...Jon-Paul | Nothing. Everything? Heck we've been buds for a long time-I forget. His bass playing isn't bad. Neither is his red convertible. |
| ...Rod | The quality and volume of his nicknames (Roddy, Westie, Rodzilla, Ro-Ro, Roat-Roat, Scrot-Skrinky, etc.) and his interesting and introspective philosophies about life. |
| ...Christopher | His wacky vernacular, sense of humor and his always-at-the-ready collection of rap lyrics that he's willing to work into any conversation at a moment's notice. |
| We like each other and get on well outside of music. | |
