Bio

One of the hardest working musicians in New Orleans, Steve Mignano blends a powerful command of blues and rock guitar with soulful vocals and a distinctively New Orleans groove. 

Steve connected with music at an early age when he discovered his father's goldmine collection of vintage vinyls, among them the Allman Brothers Band, BB King, Roy Buchanan, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Jimi Hendrix, Dr. John, Derek & The Dominoes, Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie and Cream (the list goes on), music that Steve still draws inspiration from to this day.

Since his early 20's, Steve's anomalous career has led him to tour internationally, sharing the stage with and opening for artists as varied as Cassie Taylor, Run DMC, Chapel Hart, Johnny Sansone, Larry McCray, Kermit Ruffins, Joel Hoekstra, North Mississippi All-Stars, Soulfly, Pallbearer, YOB, The Fixx, John Cleary, David Torkanowsky, Suplecs, Alabama Thunderpussy, and Eric Lindell. 

More recently his musical horizons have broadened into the darker, heavier realms with Drab and Garguts, two very distinct bands that evoke and pay homage to New Orleans metal.
