Steve Sloan

Steve Sloan grew up in Nebraska, and with his guitar, worked his way through college, the Sorbonne University in Paris, France, and law school (Juris Doctor ’67). Upon graduation he formed a singing duo with Gail Randall (Miss Omaha 1966) and “Steve & Gail” performed at folk houses and night clubs across America. In 1969 they joined The New Christy Minstrels, one of the country’s most popular folk-singing groups with 14 Gold Records.

Over the past 35 years, Steve enjoyed a successful career in real estate investment and brokerage. For 15 years he was a leader of a humanitarian organization which helped save over one million Jews, Baptists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses from persecution in the Soviet Union. Steve and Michi, his wife of 51 years and their two children live in Marin County, California.

Steve plays all the instruments, except a mandolin and steel/bass guitar in this CD album of 14 songs, including guitar (Martin D-35 dreadnought), harmonica, drums, tambourine, vocal lead and harmonies, rhythm stix, cymbals, whistling and gazatchka. Through the magic of multi-track recording, these elegantly simple yet powerful all acoustic instruments boldly back Steve’s spirited interpretations, resulting in beautiful, stirring music.
