I've Still Got Sand in my Shoes

Steve Jarrell was born into a family of musicians and by the age of ten, decided he wanted to be in a band. He taught himself how to play the saxophone and learned to sing. By the age of fifteen he was a musical veteran having played in four bands. He didn’t stop there.

Wherever he went he found musicians looking for one more participant. In Fredericksburg, Virginia, it was The Prophets who went on to compete in the 1965 Lambertville, New Jersey Battle of the Bands. In the Air Force, he and Salt & Pepper were the first American band to record in Southeast Asia. There was also Dick Dale and the Deltones, the national show group Our House and Donna Fargo to name a few.

Finally, it was Steve Jarrell and the Sons of the Beach. They have performed up and down the East Coast, the Treasure Island Resort in the Caymans, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Cancun.

Radio broadcasting, movies, television, commercials; The Alabama Theater, Steve has performed in them all.

Carolina Beach music, rhythm and blues are his beat. Singing and playing in big concerts, little gigs, fundraisers, and duos, his passion.

Enjoy this humorous and touching conversation with a man who has done it all.
