Askins has been performing for audiences for nearly three decades. Adept in a variety of musical styles, Askins’ dynamic, expressive vocal style and virtuosity on the guitar have earned him a positive reputation in northern and central Illinois.
 
Steve’s passion for the songs of yesteryear has led him develop a specialty for entertaining seniors throughout the Chicago land area by mixing classic greats with a modern edge.
 
“Seniors really seem to appreciate hearing the music from the era that I call ‘Golden Years of American Popular Music’ and it is so gratifying to see their toes tapping, singing, and dancing,” said Askins. “I specialize in programs for senior citizens and do nearly 300 shows per year.”
