BACKGROUND
After graduating from Oakland University, Michigan native Steve
Blackwood moved to NY and started as lead
singer for THE BUSINESS OF BLUES -
opening for artists like Buddy Guy and Junior Wells...
Steve moved to LA ( the drive with newlywed wife Karen was thier
Honeymoon) in 1994 and landed roles in NYPD BLUE, JUDGING AMY and
DR QUINN before landing a regular role as funny/bad guy Bart
Biedebieck on NBC's DAYS OF OUR LIVES in 1997.
The Blackwood family is delighted to be living in Burbank CA with
Steve spending as much time as he can with the family between constant
corporate events ( his favorite venue) both in LA , Las Vegas, and
across the country.
EXECUTIVES AND CLIENTS AGREE:
Steve Blackwood's show is the perfect fit for corporate events...he
not only swings "like the Giants of old"( WOBO Radio Cincinnati,OH) but
offers up rat pack style comedy that has terrific appeal to audiences of all ages. Steve literally becomes friends with any audience he plays to. "AND HIS THRILLING SINATRA TRIBUTE IS A SHOW-STOPPER"
A mixture of Gershwin, Porter,
McHugh, and Original songs are perfectly accompanied by his
outstanding Quartet and/or Big Band Musicians.
You leave the event with a warm feeling that only the glow of great clean entertainment can bring.
