About the music: California native Steve Pile has sowed his musical oats from his home state to Alaska to Texas and back, with many stints in West Africa. Blending a rootsy songwriter vibe redolent of James Taylor and John Prine with African guitar stylings and a touch of the Dead, he is a mainstay in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene Besides playing his original songs, Steve has become known for orchestrating local star-studded tributes such as his annual All Things Must Pass tribute to George Harrison, bringing in musicians like Phil Lesh, Reed Mathis, Jason Crosby, Mookie Seigel and many others to reimagine the classic album.
