"As one person I cannot change the world but...

If I can change the world of one person then my job is done".

For the last several years we have been working on a way to communicate with the younger generation about underage drinking and making the right decisions in life. Speaking from experience, we have made many wrong decisions in our lives which led to jails, institutions and near death.

Music is and always will be an effective universal communication tool. We have come up with a fun, effective and non-threatening way to reach the younger generation. Underage drinking is a reality and we don’t expect to stop it but... we can make a difference. Through live music and straight talk we send a message to our audiences about our experience of alcohol and drug abuse and where it took us and what it took from us, sending a clear message to the kids. Selfish Steam is the real deal, been there done that and are standing on the other side. We are not anti-alcohol. We are advocates of doing something about it if it becomes a problem. We are not affiliated with any group or organization and do not represent anyone except ourselves. Our music was written from our life experiences and captures our audiences with heartfelt ballads and upbeat Rockin' tunes. Below are just a few comments from some of our younger audiences.
