robinlacy.comThe Steve Schmidt Trio Pianist Steve Schmidt was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. He took two years of basic piano lessons in grade school, but spent more time playing baseball and basketball. It was an attraction to guitar, to blues and blues-oriented rock bands that really drew Steve into the pursuit of music. Throughout high school he spent much of his free time playing guitar along with records and jamming with others around the city. Blues led to jazz and he switched to piano the summer after high school to teach himself the chords and melodies of jazz.
