Hello Step friends,
This summer has gotten away from us, and we decided better late than never to do a Step Session. Therefore, this Sunday September 10th from 3pm-4:30 we’ll meet up for some music and fellowship on the Steps of 1735 West Roscoe Street. We would be thrilled for you to join us. Feel free to bring a blanket and a beverage, as the weather looks phenomenal. We’ll be joined by drum legend, George Fludas, and recent Cleveland to Chicago transplant, Joey Skoch on Keyboards. We will also be recording the concert and posting on our Step Sessions Concert Series page. Also please check out our page for any further details, or feel free to email me.
By the way, The Steps Band has a new name, “DC and the Love” in honor of our fearless leader, world class bassist and composer/arranger, Dennis Carroll. The band has really evolved into something special, from where started on the original Steps. We are sincerely thankful to you, our original fans.
Check out our new youtube page for some recent videos of the band performing at our thursday night venue, Buzzed By Zea (3707 N Halsted)

The Steps Band got it’s name during Covid 19, when Neil Hemphill, Dennis Carroll, Lee Rothenberg decided to make there on venue on these steps in Roscoe Village, during the shutdown when there was nowhere else to play. Thus began a new band, that played weekly for the neighborhood, and had as many as 130 people come out to listen!

Hey steps friends,
It’s been a little while since we’ve connected. The Original Step Band is getting together this Sunday for an impromptu performance outside of 1735 West Roscoe this Sunday June 26 from 3pm-5. The wonderful pianist Joey Skoch from Cleveland is in town and we’re going to put something special together for the neighborhood. Come by and bring a blanket and some beverages and gather on the lawn and listen to some great music! We’d love to say hi again!!
