Tunes by Steve Wilsford

Retiring from a bustling career as a chef in the hospitality industry, Steve Wilsford transitioned into embracing his lifelong passion for music with unyielding fervor. His musical journey, woven with threads of dedication, talent, and passion, traces its roots back to the lively music scene surrounding Ball State University in Indiana. It was there that Steve immersed himself in an eclectic mix of musical genres, igniting a flame of deep-seated passion that would shape his journey for decades to come.

Over the course of two decades, Steve’s talent as a lead guitarist and backup vocalist propelled him through numerous tours and recording sessions across the East Coast and Midwest regions.

Today, Steve finds himself tapping his toes to fulfill his musical dreams, relishing every moment spent creating and performing alongside his partner and percussionist, Mike Devereaux. Mike’s own journey into the world of music was sparked by the iconic sounds of rock legends like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and The Eagles. With a deep-rooted love for drumming, Mike’s path led him to share stages with artists such as Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, and Luke Bryan, honing his craft and enriching his musical repertoire along the way.

Together, Steve and Mike form as an electrifying duo. Their synergy is tight as they deliver performances at local venues like Mavi Waterfront Bar & Grill in Jacksonville Beach, The Boat House and Sliders Tiki Bar in Fernandina Beach. Whether performing together, or alongside other talented bands like The Conch Fritters, Jimmy Parrish and Trop Rock Music, Steve and Mike never fail to leave audiences blown away by their musical prowess.

Whether you are a long-time fan or discovering their music for the first time, their performances promise an unforgettable experience filled with infectious rhythms. You can catch them at Sliders Tiki Bar in Fernandina Beach every other Monday from 5 pm to 9 pm.
