The Singing Firefighter
Steve Honeycutt
Retired firefighter. Full-time musician. The kind of guy who turns a Tuesday night at the bar into something people talk about on Wednesday.
The Story
Music was always there. Long before the fire department, before the academy, before the first call — there was a guitar and a kid who wouldn't put it down. [Tell the origin — when did Steve first pick up a guitar? Who inspired him? What kind of music did he grow up on?]
For [X] years, Steve served as a firefighter in [city/department]. The guitar came along for the ride — played in the firehouse between calls, at backyard cookouts, at benefits for the brotherhood. Music was the counterweight to everything that came with the job. [What was it like balancing both? Any memorable moments where music and the job intersected?]
When Steve retired, the guitar stopped being a hobby and started being a calling. What began as a few open mics turned into regular bookings at restaurants, bars, and private events across Indiana and beyond. [How did the performing career take off? First gig story? What keeps him doing it?]
On & Off the Stage
What You Get
The Sound
Acoustic covers spanning classic rock, country, Americana, and a few surprises. Songs people know and love, delivered with soul — not karaoke energy. Think Tom Petty, Zach Bryan, John Mellencamp, and everything in between.
The Experience
Steve reads the room. A cocktail lounge on a Friday gets a different set than a lake patio on a Saturday afternoon. Every show is tailored to the crowd, the venue, and the vibe. Professional setup, clean sound, and a presence that fills the room without overwhelming it.
The Details
On time. Self-sufficient. Brings his own PA for small and mid-size rooms. Can coordinate with house sound for larger venues. Flexible on set lengths — from a one-hour happy hour set to a full four-hour evening. Easy to work with, no drama.
Beyond the Music
When he's not on stage, Steve is usually somewhere with a view. From the Tetons to Yosemite to the woods of southern Indiana, the outdoors is where the songs come from. [Add more about hobbies, family, what matters to him, community involvement, etc.]
