Steve LangleySteve Langley

When not performing with Reverb, Steve is writing. In fact, he wrote or co-wrote five of the 12 songs on "The Mission Statement," the group's current CD. One of those compositions, "In This Land," was featured on the CBS-TV drama "The District." The song is the title tune of a CD by the Grammy-winning vocal group Sweet Honey in the Rock.

Steve is also a playwright and an actor. His one act, "Gone Fishin'," created a buzz at a theater festival in his native Washington, DC, in 1998. The play also was produced in Houston. As an actor and singer, he has been featured in local productions of “Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” “The Laramie Project,” and two world premieres -- “A Chosen Few” and “Sing and Never Tire.”

Steve has been with Reverb since Day 1 in 1990.
