Steve Blaze

Steve broke into the music scene at a very early age.  He received his first guitar at age seven, took lessons for a brief time and then became a self-taught accomplished musician.  He won multiple talent shows playing classical and flamenco guitar.  As a young teen he was asked to perform on a local television show which aired on New Orleans’ CBS affiliate.  He played in several bands while in high school and formed his own band Oz which became quite popular to the local scene.  When Steve was nineteen years old Jim Dandy, the legendary vocalist for Black Oak Arkansas, asked him to join his solo band and to play on his first solo album.  Blaze played on the album but graciously declined joining the band to pursue Lillian Axe.

At the age of twenty-one Steve formed Lillian Axe.  After opening shows for Zebra, Lillian Axe came into their own headlining shows followed by an ever-growing fan base.  Steve serves as major songwriter, lead guitarist and backing vocalist for Lillian Axe.  His intense stage presence is the catalyst for his fiery guitar style which continues to mesmerize audiences today.  Lillian Axe caught the attention of Robbin Crosby (of Ratt, who is also a producer) who produced the band’s self-titled CD for MCA Records.  Following the self-titled CD, Lillian Axe released ‘Love and War” followed by a highly successful tour spreading their music worldwide. The band was picked up by IRS/Grand Slamm records and released “Out of the Darkness Into the Light” which is a compilation of their two previous CD’s which were no longer available from MCA.  A new CD, “Poetic Justice”, was released followed by “Psychoschizophrenia”. The band received massive airplay including 4 MTV videos, and they have sold over 700,000 albums.  After over 12 years of extensive touring spanning over 20 countries, the band decided to take a hiatus.  They regrouped in 1999 and released “Fields of Yesterday”.  Lillian Axe continues to tour and their enormous fan base is still rapidly growing.  These fans stay loyal to the band’s website www.lillianaxe.com and various chat groups on the internet. Steve also plays in the band Near Life Experiance and a band called Angel.
