WELL before Steven Alan Green ever even thought of being a comedian and becoming one in 1981 when he was made “Paid Regular” at the world famous Comedy Store, he was a musician. Starting as a drummer in elementary school and right through college, Steven kept the beat. But when the band broke up, Steven played with a few other bands, but the spark was gone. Thankfully, Steven taught himself to play guitar and with a 2 and a half octave singing range, which he employed doing musicals, Steven launched upon the idea of being a musical solo act, where he got booked at local L.A. music venues, such as F. Scotts in Venice, Ca, The Blah-Blah Cafe (legendary Ventura Blvd venue where Rickie Lee Jones and Al Jarreau both started), and even one disastrous night at the legendary Troubadour (Steven opened for the local punk band Wilde and the audience - having waited nearly two hours for the headline act - went equally wild and out of control, heckling and throwing shit. This turned out to be Steven’s first comedy booking.

Steven has kept his “big secret” of being musically inclined for decades. Although he has comedy songs in his standup act, for the most part, they’re short to the punchline and only comedy orientated. However, Steven has a nice collection of original love songs, in the vein of true romantic 1970’s style song-writing. He still writes and plays at social events and recently was the opening act, as a singer/songwriter on “Comedy Asylum” in North Hollywood (Instagram@Comedy Asylum) and went down fantastically, with many in the audience clearly moved and coming up to him afterwards.

Steven recorded only a few of his original songs, most notably in London by producer Kevin Armstrong, who was musical director for David Bowie at Live Aid and was musical director for the late Sinéad O'Connor. “I Really Care” was recorded in London.

Note: Steven knows the lyrics to I Really Care are so overly drippy sentimental shitte. Since, life has taught him love is not so much a worship as it is a transactional moment of shared inspiration. Not to mention a lot of complaining.
