Stevie Shred

Stevie Shred is the Lead Guitarist for Red Reign, an all original melodic hard rock band signed to DEKO Entertainment, based out of Richmond VA.  Red Reign has performed with Tesla, Dokken, Extreme, Night Ranger, Winger, Lita Ford, and a slew of the top rock bands in America.  Red Reign has released their debut albom on Deko titled "Don't Look Back."  The title track features a guest guitar solo from George Lynch of Dokken and Lynch Mob fame. 

Stevie began playing guitar in his teens, living in Michigan, and after his band won "Best Band in Northwest OH", recorded his first record.  The band seemed poised for success, but was never able to capitalize on the opportunity.  The record was never released, and the band fell apart.  Marriage.  Children.  Life happens, and after a long time just noodling at home, and playing for church, Stevie realized that his life was missing something.  There was a passion, and a calling to music that he had long ignored, and it would be ignored no more!  Stevie answered an ad on Craigslist in 2010, and ended up in Rosie Soul and the Rock N Roll Cowboys. Within a year, Stevie went from retired to playing 100 shows a year all over the MidAtlantic region in one of the most popular bands around.  At their last show, Rosie played a headline set of all orginial music for 4000 loyal fans!  Rosie hit a level of success many can only dream of, and while Red Reign has eclipsed that level, it was a life altering ride that shaped the course of Stevie's life and career.  Music lives in his core, and the guitar holds its rightful preeminence in Stevie's life today.

Stevie also plays regularly in Bombshell RVA, a cover band playing throughtout the mid Atlantic region.  Bombshell covers rock and roll party hits from the 70's through the present, and Stevie shares Lead Guitar and Lead Vocal duties. 

Stevie is currently performing in various solo/duo/trio configurations, and writing and recording material for an upcoming solo release in his spare time. 

Stevie uses and/or endorses Kramer Guitars, BC Rich guitars, Jackson/Charvel Guitars, Kemper Amps, KPA Profiles by Mattfig, Line 6, SIT Strings, InTune Guitar Picks, Barefoot Buttons, and Covenant Cables.
