The Benders
In his song "I Need to Wander," prolific local singer/songwriter Steve Black sings: "I have a restless soul, I need to find the missing pieces so my story can unfold, I need to wander."
True to his word, after staying put while raising two children in West Grove with wife Joyce, Black took to the road by himself. He and his acoustic guitar traveled frequently to perform in venues from New York to Nashville and points in between, entertaining crowds with solo renditions of his cleverly crafted songs based on personal experiences.
It's ironic, then, that Black found what he was looking for so close to home.
In 1997, Black wandered (there's that word again) into a Chester County roadhouse where local band Thompson Station was, as he writes on the liner notes of "Road Games," "romping through their special mix of country, rock and roll, and blues."
