Steve Remy -- Guitar & Vocals
Steve is one of the founding members of ABC and actually came up with the
name. It came from the old Roadrunner cartoons. The band couldn’t come up
with a name that didn’t offend anyone, so Acme Blues Company it was.
Steve's got over 25 years experience playing guitar (both lead and
rhythm) for several bands from Phoenix, Arizona to Washington DC to the
Eastern Shore of Southern Delaware.
Steve brings the blues alive with his fiery licks, and in his playing,
you can hear influences of Freddie King, Albert Collins, Tommy Castro, Jimi
Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan just to name a few. Steve plays from his
heart and soul. |
Equipment
- Guitars: Mooretone Vintage Instruments, Fender, Gibson, Epiphone,
Martin
