Bio	Steve Lewis
		Raw Earth eXperience
Steve Lewis - Djembe, conga, miscellaneous percussion. Like most American drummers, I started out playing snare drum in the grade school band.  When I was about 12, I got a drum kit;  then I just sort of fooled around on the kit through high school and college.  Though as I look back, I always liked playing on the toms (a taste for melodic drumming, maybe a frustrated tonal musician at heart, or an early hint of the West African groove to come). After college, I fell out of drumming for awhile.  I dabbled in stand up comedy, thought about film school, and   eventually landed in law school.  I am now a trial attorney at the  the Public Defenders Office. Then one day I was in a music store with Marilyn (she's now the singer with the band).  She was shopping for microphones or lights or keyboards or something.  I wandered off into the drum section and started drumming again.  I started back just fooling around on the kit.   Later, I started taking West African percussion classes at the local community college and discovered djembes, dunus, congas, and hunger for drumming.
