Steppin' In It WSG / Zak Bunce

Formed out of love for traditional American Folk & Blues music, Steppin’ In It has been playing

shows and packing dance floors for over 20 years. No stranger to Northern Mi, the band has

played Gopher countless times together and with various bands and was one of the first bands

to play after shows moved to the Elks Lodge!

"Steppin' In It is one of those rare iconoclastic bands which seem to defy all conventional

wisdom in that they manage to pack a dance floor with an updated form of old-time string

music."

The Kalamazoo Express – Kalamazoo, MI

"After three minutes, the listener will be consumed by Bourbon Street's redolence, only to

be pulled to the green, beer swigging pubs of Ireland."

"Young and old filled the dance floor during an infectious mix of folk, calypso,

bluegrass, cajun and blues."

The State News-East Lansing, MI

“All those who love good honest traditional music with a lot of variety, will have to

search the net, take a listen and find themselves falling for it.”

Rootstown Magazine - Deurne, Belgium

“The new album features ten original compositions that echo the best of what is being

written in folk music today… It seems both a nod to the songwriting giants of yesteryear

and the new direction in folk bluegrass, almost reminiscent of the modern classic, "A

Man of Constant Sorrow". It's an excellent blend of old and new, traditional and

original.”

The Northern Express – Traverse City, Michigan

“This album, their second, captures their energy and the breadth of their versatility, and

makes us wonder where this hybrid of covers, genre salutes and originals will take them.”

The Colorado Daily – Denver, Colorado

“Steppin’ In It offer a great deal of variety on Last Winter and that is the beauty of the

recording. It features strong original tunes performed well with a program that offers a

great deal of variety. Music to ward off the cold.
