Steve Durrwachter
Steve was born in Saint Louis, Missouri
in 1951. He began his music career at the ripe old age of seven. He studied
acoustic guitar under the famous steel guitar player Dewit “Scotty” Scott,
for seven years. Throughout his high school years he played with various rock
and roll bands in the Saint Louis
area.
After moving to Lakeland,
Florida in 1973 he turned his
interest to country music and played with several different local bands.
In 1985 Steve caught the ‘Bluegrass Fever’ and bought a banjo. He took a few
lessons from Larry Jackson and James Dockery. His banjo career lasted for two
years…then came that fateful day in 1987, at a Durrwachter Family Reunion in
Potneck, Tennessee…when his uncle handed him a fiddle and said “take it home
and see what you can do with it”.
Now, sixteen years and three Florida Fiddle Championships later, Steve is
proud to be a part of the Southern Star Bluegrass Band. He has had the
privilege of studying under Ted Locke and playing with such groups as Gilbert
Hancock and Friends, The Dizzy Rambler Band, and has been the fiddler for the
Florida Bluegrass Express band.
Aside from Bluegrass, Steve uses his talent as rhythm guitar and fiddle
player in the praise and worship band at Family
Worship Center,
in Lakeland.
Steve has been married for thirty-four years. He has two lovely daughters
(who occasionally perform with him) and six grand children.
