Stephen Emanuel (bass) is the spiritual leader of the band. Steve’s typical practice routine involves a week long fast with alternating 8 hour bass, meditation, and martial arts workout sessions. Steve was a long time member of the Wilde Whiskey Boys and has also performed in a touring interpretive dance troupe. A quiet man, he prefers to let his instrument speak for him. However, a lucky few have been around when he was in a talkative mood and can attest to the fact that this man is a truly gifted storyteller. If you’re lucky, maybe he’ll treat you to a tale at our next show.
