Steve Davis: The Search Is Over (The first time I heard a Hammond Organ)

Published on: 17th March, 2025

Episode 15 welcomes photographer & musician, Steve Davis. We love our Maquon, Illinois natives, but Steve has called Galesburg home for many a decade.

A St. Louis Cardinals fan whose favorite stadium is Wrigley Field. He probably helped service your Apple & snapped a photo of your kid in the parade then pulled on his headband, got behind the keys and along with his musical pals, made your Friday & Saturday nights epic.

He's truly been involved in huge musical movements in Galesburg over the past 4 decades either directly or indirectly. Dark Crystal, Thrillsville, & Neon Nova to name a few. And who could forget Linen Lion?

From days on the couch soaking up the hair metal/new wave musical prowess from MTV or discovering synth sounds at Gamble Music to sneaking a really big camera into Farm-Aid '85, the stories of rock n roll & photographs are endless. We are so blessed to be able to see & hear the art of Steve Davis.
