Steve Durrwachter

Lead Steve Durrwachter, the second of seven brothers, was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo. He started playing the guitar at age 7, studying under Dewitt (Scotty) Scott. The first band he played in was a Garage Band with his older brother, Bob, when he was 12 years old. Over the next 25 years he played in several different rock-n-roll and country bands but found his true love of music in the Bluegrass genre. At age 37, he picked up the fiddle and now, 30 years down the road with 3 Fiddle Championships under his belt, having played with several different bluegrass groups, including Gilbert Hancock & Friends, Southern Star Bluegrass and currently, one of the founding members of Southern Express Bluegrass, he has found his passion. He has also spent years playing praise and worship at churches and his love for quality music has only grown with time. He now resides with his wife of 48 years in Willow Oak, Florida.
