About Me |

Steve Scorfina is indeed one of the great guitar soloists to come out of the Midwest, USA. Scorfina garnered the same esteem and prestige as the great players of his time. Although he never reached the same pinnacle of fame as many of his peers, Scorfina still forged a respectable body of work and won the devotion of a sizeable number of rock fans around the world. The thing that sets him apart is his unique style and guitar sound. Steve Scorfina can not be pegged in just any genre of music and is definately a feel based musician spanning four decades. Born Dec. 16, 1949, In St. Louis he debuted as a Mississippi Bluesy lead guitarist influence by the Blues greats Muddy Waters, Albert King, BB King & Ike Turner. Scorfina has been involved with many major rock artist to come out of the midwest in the last 40 years. Starting off way back in the early 1960's playing with Michael Mcdonald (Doobie Brothers) in a band called The Majestics. Then in 1965, reelin' and a rockin' with the St. Louis's own legendary Good Feelin'. Cutting his teeth Scorfina has made his name early within midwestern Rock scene as a founding member of REO SPEEDWAGON in 1969. Writing thier first single (Gypsy Womans Passion). Only to leave to become a CBS recording artist with THE St. LOUIS K-SHE Classic favorite - and St. Louis's own - PAVLOV'S DOG. In Pavlov's Dog he penned some of their most memorable Progressive Rock songs from the era (Natchez Trace, Late November, and Mersy) which debut on the simoustaniously on ABC and CBS Records in 1974. In the Spoon River Band he appeared as a regular at Berry Park (Chuck Berry's farm). Then in late 1970's he moved to L.A and was signed with CBS recording artist Gulliver in 1980. He partnered up with David Caron, The Buck Bros. and Tom Nickeson and laid down his signature riffs on Carons song "We're All Clones" Later to be covered By Alice Cooper & The Smashing Pumpkins. After returning to the midwest in 1982 Scorfina joined forces with midwest's legendary lead guitarist & songwriter Mike Somerville formerly from HEAD EAST to form the Somerville-Scorfina Project which K-SHE95 pick up on Volume II of the K-SHE Seeds albums. In the 90's he raised his family and released his solo debut Polychrome Lovesongs 1998. On June 27, 2004 Stephen reunited with the closest to original lineup of Pavlovs Dog for their Reunion since thier debut album Pampered Menial. Pavlov's Dog packed the house with a sold out concert and raised over $148,000 for the Make A Wish Foundation. A year later, Scorfina's material on the CBS recording of Pampered Menial ranked 27th next to Queen in the top Progressive Rock albums to date, according to Progression Magazine. (Check out his blog 2005 MoJo Music) SOME MAY SAY IN DOG YEARS I'M DEAD... BUT ROCK N ROLL NEVER DIES! LAST WARRIOR'S SONG 2nd movement of the Spirit Sonata from the solo CD Polychrome Lovesongs I am brave I am strong I can make it on my own In a world where the stong survive I'll be standing all alone An icy wind down a trail of tears That turns our hearts to stone Shadows fall on my leathered skin While my spirit flies alone Through the lies of ice blue eyes The truth could not be found Until the breathe inside our souls Was scattered on the ground I will dance the life of a warrior's cry In this sacred trance Let my spirit rise Stephen Michael Scorfina ©1995 check out my new clip of a new song called "ANGELINE" © 2007 Currently working on four musical projects. 1.
