Minnesota native Steven Barber has been a band member of Blizzard, Sunspot, Sidestreet, Prism and The Express to name a few doing mostly cover songs from mid 70s through the 90s. Since 2005 Steven is devoting his energy to his 30 year passion for songwriting and recording. Lame Johnny Creek is the current namesake of the band and is the vehicle used to promote all the songwriting and recording projects. Coming from an electronics background during the 70s he found himself working primarily with electronic music forms influenced by Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer and Pink Floyd. Although still having an affinity for a few gadgets and software plugins while recording the end result from his recent third album project "Like A River Flows" is a more acoustic sound with Neil Young and Harry Nilsson influences layered with electric guitar, non-traditional rock instruments with a few retro synthesizer sound textures.

All original tracks combined into a unique blend of Acoustic/Electronic Folk Rock with powerful violin, smooth melodies and memorable lyrics.

Lame Johnny Creek has been described as a Psychedelic Jazz Folk Rock Band with a Bohemian twist and classical undertones. Or, has described, "Poetry with a music attachment." Whatever it is it fits no

Lame Johnny Creek has been described as a Psychedelic Jazz Folk Rock Band with a Bohemian twist and classical undertones. Or, has described, "Poetry with a music attachment." Whatever it is it fits no pre-defined category and sets itself apart from standard radio play songs of today.

The latest project Standing In The Rain speaks to addictions and relationships. Both won and lost. Contributors to Standing In The Rain come from both Coasts and the Midwestern U.S.

The band name Lame Johnny Creek claims it's namesake from a creek named Lame Johnny Creek in South Dakota. The creek gets it's name from an outlaw named Cornelius "Lame Johnny" Donahue who was hung west of Lame Johnny Creek in October, 1878. Lame Johnny came from Philadelphia and was mild mannered, a musician, college educated and was working as a bookkeeper when he took to stealing horses and robbing stagecoaches throughout the Black Hills in South Dakota. He was called Lame Johnny because of his limp from a childhood injury.
