Steve Short

After graduating, I left for Nashville to attend Belmont University's Music Business program. Having gotten the music bug playing guitar in the Jazz Band the last semester at Houston, so why not do something with it as a career? I started out playing guitar for different people while in school, but by sophomore year, I'd started an internship at a recording studio and found out THAT'S what I want to do with music. I stuck it out and by the time graduation rolled around I had started engineering on albums (engineering is the technical side of recording- I'm the guy that deals with all the sounds and gear used in recording). I've had a good run of it- some of the more notable artists I have worked with are Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Darryl Worley, Brian Setzer (which is where the picture comes from), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lionel Richie, Third Day, Caedmon's Call, DC Talk, Kenna, Allison Krauss, and more I can't think of right now. As for plans for the future, I no plans to leave music or Nashville anytime soon- I love my job and Nashville's my kind of pace (vs. the LA or NY music scene- both are a bit... creepy?) Anyhow- wasn't able to make the reunion, but it's been fun seeing what everyone else is up to and all. Best wishes to everybody!
