Keepin 60s Music Alive!
Who would have thought that a healthcare lawyer and a public defender living nearly 1,000 miles
apart would ever sing together but it just so happens that this lawyer (Steve Bernstein) and this public defender (Steve Messinger) play 60s music together and their fans know them collectively as … Steve and Steve.
