Separate Projects, Different Times

Steve Borth, II began to play the saxophone in fourth grade when he was 10 years old.  He carried that interest into his teen years and as a young adult.  The first band that he joined outside of his hometown of Sacramento, California was East Bay band, Link 80.  He continued in the ska/punk scene when he left to join the Orange county based, Rx Bandits.  With both bands he toured throughout the world. In 2003, he started to write his own music and front his own project, Satori with a more rocksteady sound.  In 2009 he started CHLLNGR,  a project focusing more on an electronic sound but using his dub roots as a foundation.

Steve, II's music credits are also listed under Teachers, a New York based band which he tours and records frequently with and more recently touring Danish artists such as Klumben and Raske Penge and Isam B.

Steve has also collaborated with many artists as a guest studio musician and a guest touring multi-instrumentalist.  In the past he has worked with Spoek Mathambo, Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, and Mike Park.
 His works can also be found on I-tunes, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify.
 

Steve Borth, I began writing music in his teens that would be released by Christian youth groups across the south in the late 60s, early 70s.  His first solo album, Nothing Soothes the Soul in 1977 was followed by three more Gospel based albums that were released under the Alpenglow Label in Texas.  Today, Steve is venturing into a completely new genre.  His unique country-folk style in his new EP, "Home as Soon as I Can" will soon be available for purchase. 

​All of Steve, I's musical projects are available digitally on I-Tunes, Amazon, Google Play and Spotify, including a new Christmas single featuring Simple Things and Christmas Country Style.

His latest work is a collaboration with his son, Steven Jess Borth, II as producer and is a country/folk album entitled Home as soon as I can.

New Music: A Father-Son Collaboration

​HOME AS SOON AS I CAN AND SIMPLE THINGS WERE RECORDED WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF FRIENDS

​Steve I: 
​In the late seventies I took my young family with me on the road to do concerts to raise money for the Loud Cry Mission. We drove from California to Maine, they were quite the troopers.
As we got into the early to mid eighties the kids were school age so I had to take to the road by myself. Doing over one hundred concerts a year, I was away from the family quite a bit. No cellphones at that time so there was not even a lot of communication except letters. So there was loneliness, and a lot of material to write songs about.
In 1982, Rick Garcia allowed me to come into the studio and do a demo of some of those songs. Realizing I couldn't add them to my concert list, I was hoping some Country artist would like and record at least some of them. Problem was I never really promoted them, too busy with my touring.
Three years ago while cleaning out my shop I found a cassette with the label "1982 Country Demo". To my surprise it actually played and I was thrilled to hear songs I had forgotten about. Long story shorter, my son, Steven Jess Borth II heard them and would not take no for an answer, he wanted to produce an album with me as the artist.
"Home As Soon As I Can" and "Simple Things" were created out of that production.
