Steve Hanlon

Guitar & Vocals

Steve started on the Guitar at age ten and was in his first band at the age of 13. First paying gig was at the Chatham Elementary School. Since that time Steve has entertained as far south as Martinique and as far north as Ski Country.

Specializing in acoustic guitar and vocals, Steve has played in many duos and trios through the years. Among them are Cool Breeze, Steve and Jen, and Cochran, Hanlon, and Clark. The latter had the pleasure of opening for Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Grand Funk Railroad, Roger McGuinn and James Brown, as well as a succession of well-known comedians.

A founding member of Freddie and the Maybellines, Steve left to pursue solo performing and eventually wound up putting Hazy, Hot and Humid together with the help of Bill and Randy. “Without a doubt, this band has the finest assortment of musicians and vocalists I have ever had the pleasure to be associated with,” said Steve. “What’s better than family, good friends and great music? That sums up my life in Hazy, Hot & Humid.
