Steve Wrobel
Guitar / Lead Vocals

Steve started out his musical journey as a drummer for 10 years. He played all styles from Rock to Country to Big Band and Jazz.

He slowly picked up guitar while playing drums and watching other guitarists, until one night, the guitarist couldn't make the gig and Steve strapped on a guitar and the rest is, as they say, history. That was some 20 years ago.

Since then, Steve has had the opportunity to play for and with many local bands such as Tracy and Company, Reckless, Crossfire Canyon, Full House, North Country Connection, and many others.

Steve says the opportunity to play with the NH Ranch Hands is like coming full circle. "I'm playing the musical style I listened to when the journey first began. In a way, it is like coming home."
