Episode 140 - Steve Conte

We talk to Steve Conte – Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter. Since being bitten hard by the music bug after hearing The Beatles’ Revolver album as a young boy, Steve Conte would be drawn to New York City and soon earn a reputation as a world class guitarist and songwriter. His talents would attract the likes of Paul Simon, The New York Dolls, Michael Monroe and even rock pioneer Chuck Berry who all make up just a small list of names on Steve Conte’s ever growing rock resume! We talk about a journey that forges through the 80s and beyond as Steve experiences the big money record deals, MTV video shoots and strangely, many call backs to experiences from his younger days which would materialise into new opportunities many years down the line.   This episode is brought to you by our friends Dead Skull Coffee. https://deadskullcoffee.co.uk/discount/STV Please visit The Straight To Video Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow this show. https://www.patreon.com/stvpod Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop
