Steve “BB” Payne
Steve has been a member of the Southern California music scene for many years. He describes his guitar style as an attempt to blend the soulfulness of BB King and the aggressiveness of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His vocals betray countless nights on the road paying dues. Steve learned his chops in Los Angeles where he started playing at an early age with names like Jonathan Gale, Stevedore Skye, Leyland, The Renegade Band, and the legendary tenor sax man Taco Davis. Steve “BB” Payne is considered an expert blues and jazz historian. When you see him, feel free to ask him about anything from Muddy Waters and Little Walter to Miles Davis and The Duke. “BB” Payne founded the Brokers Band with one goal in mind: Let the Good Times Roll!
“The Professor” Irwin Haas
Irwin started playing sax as a teenager and later received a diploma in jazz performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston. While in Boston he honed his skills playing for crowds on the streets and subways. In the early 80’s Irwin led several different bands playing blues, jazz, funk, and top 40.
In ‘84 he returned to his hometown of San Diego where he has performed with many groups including The Siers Brothers, The Automatics, Holding Power, The Big Idea, and Fullxposure.
