In his 40-plus-year career, Brown has sold millions of records worldwide (RIAA certified gold album), written three Billboard Top 100 singles, starred in three No. 1 MTV videos, and shared the stage with the likes of KISS, Journey, Alice Cooper, Scorpions, Poison, Cheap Trick, Styx, Boston, Night Ranger, Rick Springfield and Tesla. As not only a master guitarist, but as an accomplished songwriter, singer, engineer, producer, and performer. Brown has become one of the music industry’s most sought-after and entrusted talents. From personal endorsements by Eddie Van Halen to churning out original music for some of television’s most popular hits, to regularly hitting the stage with an ever-growing list of rock and roll greats, Steve Brown is in constant demand.
