Steven James Stewart: I was born in upstate N.Y. My influence to play drums was Buddy Rich.

I was about 6 or 7 and my parents were watching TV one night. I do remember what

the show was, it was a Glen Miller Christmas special but Buddy did a 10 min. drum solo and I watched the whole thing. It was the coolest.

So when I was old enough to join drums in school, I did.

Singing influence: This was a long time ago also. I'm going to give away my age here.

When FM radio first came out in my town we only had one station, they played whole albums with

few commercials. The music that was playing was  Aerosmith's 1st. album. I fell deep into music

and have loved it ever since. It is my 1st. love. I was in 4th grade when I joined chorus, and have been singing ever since.

Speaking of Aerosmith When I came to Florida, I got a job with a local cable co. One of my customers were Steven Tyler's

Parents. Vic and Sue. His mom showed me this huge medallion. that said AEROSMITH. It must have weighed 2 lbs.

She carried it everywhere. Oh by the way he gets his lips from his father. They are very nice and down to earth people.

 When they would see me in the community, she always would make a point to stop and say hello. So I bet you can

guess my favorite band.

                               Roger Stevens

Status:             Single

Influences:         Toni Iommi; Richie Blackmore; Michal Shenker, Steve Morse

Vices:               Good-looking women and Captain Morgan

Favorite Bands:  Black Sabbath; Deep Purple; Alice in Chains

Favorite Albums: Sabatage (Black Sabbath); Purpendicular (Deep Purple); Essential (UFO); Killers (Iron Maiden); Diamonds & Debris (Cry of Love).

Background:      I started playing at 11 years old.  I grew really fascinated with

the sound of Black Sabbath and grew up trying to copy it.  My brother, Joe, turned me on to UFO and I started listening to Michael Shenker, who is very under-rated.  That is what I like about them because they don’t wear it out on the radio.  When I first heard Perfect Stranger (Deep Purple), I was hooked and realized that I wanted to play guitar for a living someday.  That’s my story and I’m still a poor, starving musician.
