This was the best party we have ever had! To have a solo drummer of his caliber was way way cool ! We were under a pergola and Steven set up to the far right. Drinks appetizers, we were able to talk and groove at the same time. Jazz, soft cool, then rock jazz louder, then soft. 20 folks all of which kept saying “ this drummer is the best idea for a party ever!” So true. Solo drummer is where it’s at. Steven Haake awesomely the bomb!!!! Will send photos when I gather from party guest🥳

When Stephen Haake performs, expect professionalism on and off the stage. He shows up on time, with music prepared, and has great presence onstage!
Stephen Haake developed a love for drumming while attending Bayless Jr. High School in St. Louis Missouri. He immersed himself in the music, playing along with records, and learning marching band music. His journey continued through the 2000's and Stephen graduated with an Associates of Arts Degree from St. Louis Community College Meramec in 2010. Stephen then transferred to Webster University, and graduated with a Bachelor's of Music - Jazz Performance in 2014. Throughout the years Stephen has become proficient in many styles: rock, funk, jazz, blues, country, bluegrass, big band, various Latin styles, and world styles. Stephen has toured with a couple different groups, and auditioned for Cirque du Soleil. If you need a pro drummer or a great band of almost any genre, Stephen can put it together for you!
Stephen does not provide sound or lighting himself, however if you hire one of the bands he plays with, there may be an option for sound and lights.
