Steven Retchin began his adventure with the harmonica in 1964 when his band had him play the solo on the Beatles "Please Please Me". In the late 60's and through the 70's and 80's, he played in Blues and Boogie bar bands, in folk coffee houses, and learned jazz at jam sessions. He has played with Blues legend Otis Spann, and in the streets of Boston, New York and elsewhere.
