Steve developed his love for music at a young age, growing up in a family of musicians and singers. Steve has enjoyed playing music for over 50 years. His first instrument was the cello throughout his youth, he then shifted to guitar and mandolin with Bluegrass and Classical Guitar lighting his musical path.  With lifelong friend Mike Iverson, they formed their first band in the mid 70's playing a mix of Americana Acoustic and Bluegrass.  Some of Steve’s fondest musical memories in his youth include weekly Bluegrass jam sessions at the Ogden Airport and playing Promontory Point Golden Spike Annual Commemoration.  Steve earned his first music tip while busking in the courtyard of Ancestor’s Square located in the heart of St. George, Utah; which still brings a smile to his face.  Steve developed the Facebook group Mountain Meadow Music which is dedicated to the love of music, open mic, jam sessions, performing and just having fun.  Steve recently retired from a 40-year career in aviation as a mechanic and pilot; he is enjoying playing music, supporting the Southern Utah musical community,  building his own airplane, traveling and spending more time at home.

Lew Winter has been writing and performing easy listening acoustic music for over 50 years with Larry Krause, a co-creator of music written and produced together. Lew loved music from birth; as the oldest of 7 children his mother would sing and play piano often. The 1st instrument Lew learned was the accordion @ 8,  then to piano.  By 5th grade it was violin. When Lew was 11 he wanted a guitar, so to convince his parents he learned to sing and strum chords on the ukulele. For Christmas on his 12th birthday Lew got his 1st guitar. After taking a couple months of guitar lessons he began TEACHING guitar from 9th-12th grade. He learned to play very quickly. At the music store Lew taught lessons, is where he met Larry Krause,  who also was teaching other students. Presently : "Dreamed All Night ", "The Bridge ", and "Enchanted " are 3 albums they have published. He and Larry have performed for school assemblies, weddings, concerts, and seminars, sharing their musical message of love and hope for the future! Lew Winter recently retired (June 2017) from his job as a Learning Specialist working with Learning Handicapped students at Davis High School in Modesto, California, for 25 plus years. He quickly noticed how profoundly music impacted the lives of his students. He now resides in St. George, Utah where he met Steve Smith (vocals, guitar & mandolin) and began playing music with Mountain Meadow Music.  Lew then joined Franky Cerro (drums,vocals) and was fortunate to become reacquainted with his friend, Bill Loucks  ( bass,vocals).  Their soothing blend of vocals and  acoustic instruments make the "MUSIC" the star that is immediately seen and felt.
