Steve Cross

Steve began his musical adventure in Victoria playing with various local bands until Vancouver beckoned with more opportunity. Once in Vancouver, Steve got to work with some club bands eventually hooking up with bluesman Al Foreman, forming the Foreman-Young Band. That band toured and recorded eventually moving to Los Angeles. Contractual problems led to the end of that band. Back in Vancouver, Steve also performed and recorded with Denise McCann. After a stint in Edmonton, Steve went on to perform with a new Al Foreman Band for many years. By 1985 Steve met Big Hank Lionhart. The Toasters were formed and worked together for years. Steve went on to play with David Wills and The Dynamics a great R&B horn band. These days Steve is living in Sooke and back gigging with Big Hank and a reformed re-energized version of the now named "Smokin' Hot Toasters". Credit Big Hank Lionhart and The Smokin' Hot Toasters.
