Steve Waugh. Steve’s older sister worked hard and saved her money so that she could buy a guitar and take lessons. Steve, on the other hand, never worked a day in his life (a true guitar player), rescued the guitar from its tomb in a closet and started playing, “Last Train to Clarksville.” His most revered musical influences at the time were The Beatles (first and foremost), The Monkees and the fabulous musical comedy team, The Smothers Brothers. Steve went on to study classical guitar with Javier Calderon at the UW-Madison where he earned his bachelor and master degrees while studying classical guitar, jazz improvisation, composition and a whole host of diverse subjects. Now he makes music with his daughter’s band, Molly Nova (daughter Molly on vocals and Berlinda Lopez on flute) and the flute and guitar duo, Silver Morning.
Silver Morning
Together, they form the flute and guitar duo, Silver Morning, with the intention of expanding their musical horizons and providing an enriching musical experience for their audiences.
