1. Steve Cunningham from Rochester, NY:
Rochester, NY native Steve Cunningham began playing guitar at age 14, where he was influenced by such diverse artists as Led Zeppelin, Pat Metheny, Yes, and the Brecker Brothers, as well as classical and bluegrass music. After years of playing and touring with various rock, country, and Top 40/dance bands, including his own original instrumental rock trio "The Value of X", Steve released his first solo CD, "Travels", in 1995. Featuring blazing, yet tasteful electric, acoustic, and slide guitar playing, "Travels" still enjoys steady sales, as well as daily airplay on national radio. Later in '95, Steve relocated to Atlanta, where he began playing the lap steel, immersing himself in the styles of David Lindley, western-swing great Tom Morrell, and Sacred Steel player Aubrey Ghent.

In 2003, Steve released his second solo CD "Dubious Tones", a blend of jazz, rock, blues, and bluegrass. "Dubious Tones", has received national airplay and rave reviews in publications such as "Modern Drummer " and "20th Century Guitar" along with on-line publications including www.musicdish.com and www.guitarnoise.com.

In 2006, Steve released "Rustic Spirit", a collection of hymns performed on slide guitars combined with his own unique musical voice complementing these traditional songs. "Rustic Spirit" is a roots-based instrumental approach with a blend of blues and gospel, with jazz inflections added in. This soulful and introspective blend of styles is a favorite of all music lovers.

In 2008 Steve released his fourth solo cd, "Slide", an instrumental composition showcasing Steve's talent on the lap steel and slide guitar. The music is a blend of all styles from swampy rock jams to latin ballads and smoky jazz tributes. Steve let's his singing strings soar with this release that's sure to appeal to all music fans!

One of the most in-demand guitarists on the Atlanta scene, Steve performs over 200 dates a year playing jazz, R&B, rock, funk, gospel, country, blues, pop and western-swing among other styles.
