Steve was born in Brooklyn, NY and has spent time in Ohio, California, and Louisiana. Now almost 20 years in Houston, Steve has blended his high energy style with the soulful vibe that runs through the great city of Houston.
The Houston Press has nominated Steve Krase Band for Best Blues Band five times, Best Instrumentalist twice, and Best Player in 2016. In 2017, the Steve Krase Band represented Houston in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, finishing in the semi-finals. "Just Waitin’, the excellent recent release from the Steve Krase Band, finds the Houston-based Krase in great form as the harmonica master tears through an entertaining, wide-ranging ten-song set of tunes that span blues, roots, Americana, and even a wicked shot of Zydeco where you might least expect it," said Graham Clarke of Blues Bytes. |

"Just Waitin’, the excellent recent release from the Steve Krase Band, finds the Houston-based Krase in great form as the harmonica master tears through an entertaining, wide-ranging ten-song set of tunes that span blues, roots, Americana, and even a wicked shot of Zydeco where you might least expect it. Just Waitin’ is a barrel of fun from start to finish. This disc will certainly please blues fans who may not be familiar with Steve Krase. They will definitely be looking for more of his recordings once they hear this one."
