In regards to the tour Steve said "So, October before last I woke up without a band. I had toured with one version of the "Dukes" or another since 1982, but the real continuous bloodline of the outfit died with my longtime bass player, Kelly Looney, in 2019. So, it seemed I'd come to a crossroads. Left? Right? I chose BACK. Back to performing solo like I did in coffeehouses when I first started."
