Steve Guiot: Guitars and Vocals

Since Steve hasn't provided me with his bio, I'm going to write one for him. Steve and I've been best friends since second grade at Union Valley. We were literally inseparable except for the year that his dad moved the Guiot family to Beloit, where he spent one year before returning to Buhler. That was our fourth grade year.

Steve was my musical inspiration and comrade as a youth. Whether we were trying to pick out boogie woogie songs on the piano in grade school, or trying to pick out a little rock 'n' roll on the guitar as a teenager, Steve was always there. After high school, Steve went to Kansas State where he quickly discovered his true passion. Music. Steve dedicated himself to his craft, and went on to play in the Strip (1985-87) and That Statue Moved (1987-94).

Steve now lives in Wichita. --Lee
