Steve Conway (vocals)
Steve's
style is mostly based on material from the Rat Pack Era. I must, however,
emphasise that Steve is not a tribute act. His vocal style vocal has
been forged from his own love of the great vocalists of the past which
include: Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Harry Connick Junior. Although
Steve has been influenced by these singers - he pocesses his own distinctive
and characteristic sound.
