the road with the band.
STEVEN
ROSEN -
If you've been a regular fan of international musician magazines
such
as Guitar World, Guitar Player, Player, or Creem over the last two
decades, chances are you have read a cover story or main feature written
by respected US rock journalist Steven Rosen. Steven has played a major
role in shaping other American music publications with
his insightful and often exclusive interviews with rock legends from
Jeff Beck, Led Zeppelin, Brian Wilson, Ginger Baker and Paul McCartney
to modern day heroes such as The Chili Peppers, Green Day and Dream
Theater. Australian Musician is pleased to have Steven join our humble
team!
