Steve Roberts
A veteran of the Chicago rock, jazz and experimental music scene, Steve Roberts has recorded and performed with a myriad of local and touring artists. His work as co-founder/songwriter/electric guitarist for the bands Loud Thoughts and the post-punk/art rock D-Section has somehow led (most unnaturally), to popular and not-so-popular, orchestral, new music, musical theater and chamber music.
That natural progression has included performing with: Andrea Bocelli, Kristin Chenoweth, Stewart Copeland, Melissa Etheridge, Heather Headley, Audra McDonald, Luciano Pavarotti, Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang.
Steve can often be found performing as a member of Fulcrum Point New Music Ensemble, Broadway musicals, Broadway In Chicago musicals and as an extra with The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Philharmonic, The Lyric Opera of Chicago, Chicago Philharmonic and Grant Park Music Festival.
