The Steve Hill Trio

Band History

Steve Hill, aka Steve Territo, began playing in bands in 1965. By 1973, he was mainly interested in blues and older forms of rock. He co-founded and named the original J.B. Strut band in his hometown of Chicago, IL. By 1974, he moved to Texas where he played in a series of bands and re-formed a new version of "J.B. Strut" in the early '80s. This version went on to tour a seven state area, playing extensively throughout Texas.

He disbanded Strut in 1988 due to musical differences and personnel changes and took a seven-year sabbatical from playing. In 1995, he started the Steve Hill Trio and released several self produced CDs. His most recent CD, Playing for the Love of Music, has received airplay on local station KNON as well as in Europe, Australia, Canada, and various stations in the U.S. He currently plays his style of rocking blues with garage band energy and spirit with some of the DFW areas best players.
