    Steve and Alison

    Steve Katz’s professional career started in the late fifties on a local Schenectady, New York television program called Teenage Barn. Accompanied by piano, Steve would sing such hits of the day  as “Tammy” and “April Love”. At 15, Steve studied guitar with Dave Van Ronk and Reverend Gary Davis. It was at this time that he met and befriended guitarist Stefan Grossman. Steve & Stefan would sometimes act as road managers for Reverend Davis and, in so doing, met many of the great “rediscovered” blues men of an earlier era, like Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt.

    There were many other young musicians and potential college dropouts around Greenwich Village during this time who were as obsessed with American roots music as Steve, whether it be bluegrass or blues. Many would look for a common ground in which to play music together and some, including Steve, Stefan, Maria Muldaur, John Sebastian and David G

    Blood, Sweat & My Rock 'n Roll Years: Is Steve Katz a Rock Star? | Jewish Book Council

    By a found­ing mem­ber of the leg­endary Blues Project and Blood, Sweat & Tears — a man who played the Mon­terey Pop Fes­ti­val and Wood­stock, had affairs with famous folk singers, and jammed with every­one from Mose Alli­son to Jimi Hen­drix — comes a blues-folk-rock mem­oir of resigned exis­ten­tial­ism and decid­ed­ly New York Jew­ish humor (what if Woody Allen had been a rock star)? But this mem­oir is more than the lurid, par­ty-with-your-pants-down mem­oir that has become the norm for rock ​’n’ roll books.
