August, 1999 More [Artist Bios]

Steve Booke is a seasoned and driven musician/guitarist currently based in Lynbrook, New York (U.S.A.) who denotes his playing style as new age/world beat bluesy progressive, as one might want to hear on his most recent recording, "Rare Earth". photoHis workhorse guitars consist of an Ernie Ball Steve Morse Model and a Yamaha APX4A acoustic. Booke has been playing guitar since 1986, and truthfully shares his career objective, "To be a successful recordng/touring artist and composer for film."

When the attempt was made to uncover his definitive or preferred effect for the guitar, Booke purposefully responded with, "Delay," and then volunteered his musicial goals, "Finding ways to express my emotions and raw energy through my music." He keeps open the possibility to, at some point, study classical composition/orchestration, and is at the moment listening to Steve Morse, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Liquid Tension Experiment, various southern rock bands and various R&B bands. His most important gratification? "When people tell me that my music touches them," he muses emphatically.

photoBooke winds up by detailing long-term and forthcoming endeavors insightfully, by saying, "I will be featured on a compilation on Conquest Records, I am also doing a track for a Dream Theater Tribute CD, I am involved in a country music recording project and will be starting work on my next CD by mid-fall."

Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Steve Booke to guitarists such as John McLaughlin and others.

Booke's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Rare Earth", "Sounds Of The Season") and participation on a number of other recordings (Get The Led Out! "Led Zeppelin Salute", Guitar Masters "Volume 1", Michael Knight "Mechanica Diablo", Michael Knight "Electric Horrorland", PainmuseuM "Metal For Life", Rewired "A Tribute To Jeff Beck", Carl Roa "Eternity", Skulgrinder "Island Of Lost Souls", Static "Patterns", Violet Samudra "Bliss Beyond").
