Just learned that Steve Raitt, a friend from back in the day when Westside was starting out and our Star Search Days passed after a long battle with cancer.
Back then, if you wanted the best sound director, you called Steve Raitt. We were fortunate to have Steve mix for us a few times. He was known for bringing excellent musicians together. And, well known as a big part of the TC Jammers.
I am blessed to have known him, and counted him a friend. Steve, you will be remembered and you will be missed.

About Me
- Westside Band
- Minnesota, United States
- My music career began in my moms kitchen, at the age of 2. I was drumming on her pots and pans. By 3, was performing in my parents restaurant in West St. Paul. I went on to perform in Saxon Soul, Dannys Reasons, The Mystics, Free and Easy, and Gypsy before forming Westside Band in 1981. A 5 time inductee to the Mid-America Music Hall of Fame, and along with Westside Band, we were 2010 inductees to the Mid-America Music Hall of Fame. Most of all I am thankful for my health and the loving support of my mother and father.
