Singer/songwriter Pat Liston is best known as founding member of Mama’s Pride, a band that recorded two popular albums in the seventies and toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, The Charlie Daniels Band, and other groups of that genre. Mama’s Pride reunited and recorded a CD in 1992. These days, Pat plays frequent solo shows in the St. Louis area. He took a few minutes out of a busy day of performing to do an interview for A Concert Pitch.

To kick off A Concert Pitch, we feature an interview with Steve Hoover, founder, bassist and arranger for local Beatle cover band, Abbey Road Warriors.
I’ve known Steve for about three years, covering and photographing his performances for FreeConcertsSTL.com. Earlier this month, I met with him for the interview at the Hanger Grill in Chesterfield Valley, just before a scheduled gig there.
In the interview we discussed the band’s beginnings, how the Beatles influenced popular music in the 60s and beyond, how he got started in music, his work as music arranger, being a member of the Bob Kuban Band, the importance of music education, and other subjects related to music performance.
