Honoring a Legend

The music world remembers T.M. Stevens as a virtuoso bassist whose dynamic style blended funk, rock, jazz, and soul into an unforgettable symphony of sounds. Having shared stages with iconic artists such as Steve Vai, James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Miles Davis, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, and the Pretenders, T.M. Stevens left an indelible mark on music. Following his passing on March 10, 2024, the T.M. Stevens Music Scholarship Fund was established to honor his memory and continue his legacy of musical excellence and passion.
