Steve Valentine

Steve Valentine grew up with musical instruments and musicians all around.  Mother Doris, acclaimed local organist with the San Diego Padres Baseball Club, Uncle Gary Lefebvre, world renowned Jazz Saxophonist and older brother Jack Valentine, notorious Rock and Roll drummer of Whitehorse, kept a constant schedule of rehearsals within constant ear shot down the hall growing up.  Steve dabbled with all instruments perhaps with the hopes of someday joining the fun.  Steve practiced for years and eventually set up Brother Jack’s and Whitehorse guitarist Mick Mars’ equipment when the band was in California.

            “Steve was the guy who operated my upside down drum platform at the San Diego Sports Arena and other gigs in LA with Mick Mars of Mottley Crue back in the 70’s,” Jack relates.  “I never realized he would be the perfect guy to join my band until the Flying Circus just recently re-formed and there he was, ready, willing and very able.” 

Steve plays everything, guitars, keyboards, drums and woodwinds.
