Steve Rea and Corduroy Bones brought the afternoon crowd at Boataroo to heights normally not acheived until well after the sun goes down for most music festivals. The boys tore into several classic tunes like Jim Croce's "Bad Lee Roy Brown" and Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" with a grace and style that permiates the originality and passion of this band. The crowd was also able to catch a groove in the groups original songs, noteworthy would be the performances of "Chaos" and "On the way to Somewhere." - Ryan Styma: Boataroo '07

Steve Rea’s music has graced numerous venues throughout the Midwest and has been showcased on WKLT radio's Northern Michigan Rocks compilation CDs, as well as the 2004 "Green Album" release with his band Corduroy Bones. Thought provoking, lyrically sound songs with tasteful guitar riffs and rhythmic grooves would describe original compositions. Live outings range from a full on band to solo acoustic performances.
