Steve Pappas is a consummate and more-than-capable six-stringer currently based in Boardman, Ohio (USA) who reveals his playing style as acoustic/fingerstyle/world, as a listener can readily experience on his most recent album, "Refuge".  His most utilized guitars consist of a Takamine EC132 and an Asturias JM15. Pappas has been playing guitar since 1974, and with no holds barred reveals his career aspiration, "To continue to write, and record my own compositions/arrangements for
fingerstyle guitar."
When asked to divulge his one essential effect for the guitar, Pappas responded by saying, "Digital reverb," and continued by mentioning his musicial goals, "I want to express my emotions and experiences through each piece." He eagerly hopes to one day study historical instruments such as the lute, and is presently listening to Stevan Pasero, David Qualey and Gene Bertoncini. His primary fulfillment? "When a listener tells me that they wish my music would never stop
playing," he declares incontestably.
 Pappas concludes by detailing current and approaching undertakings succinctly, by saying, "During the day I teach music in the public school. I maintain a studio
for private instruction and I practice my instrument daily. To complete a
Christmas CD in 2002."
