Founding member of the rock band Everything performs a rare solo show with special guests.

Steve Van Dam has had a long and varied career in the music industry. Steve began in 1989 as a musician, founder, and co-owner of the band Everything, best known for their hit song "Hooch". From 1992-2002, Everything toured extensively in the U.S. and abroad, building a sizable grass roots fan base in the process. In 1999, Van Dam became the Owner and President of Dojo Productions, a boutique production studio in Virginia, where they worked as a composer, producer, and musician. In 2001, they began working as a freelance producer and engineer in various studios. In 2005, they began working as a freelance composer and sound designer for Mophonics. In 2012, they founded Visual Interactive Music (VIM) and Light The Music, where they use their ORO Visual Music apps to teach innovation, digital production, and music education.

The band Everything was formed in 1989 by students at James Madison University. Going on the road full-time in '92, they played 200-250 shows a year for nearly the next 10 years, starting in the mid-Atlantic, and then gradually expanding their grass roots fan base until it extended across half of the U.S. The band released its first 3 albums independently, selling almost 30,000 CDs before signing a brief and ill-fated deal with Capricorn Records in 1995.

Larger scale success came when they signed with indie label Blackbird who funded the recording of the Super Natural album, and whose uplift venture with Sire/London eventually provided the radio and distribution muscle that got the breaking single "Hooch" to top radio stations around the world. Their peak of popularity came in 1998, when "Hooch" (from the Super Natural album) was featured in Adam Sandler's movie The Waterboy. From 1998 to 2000, it charted in the top 10 on Billboard's Pop and Hot AC charts, as well as top 20 on the Modern Rock charts.[1] The band reveled in their 'new-found' popularity, playing radio shows and festival crowds around the country. "Hooch" has been heard in episodes of My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope, Yes, Dear, and Clueless, and also was featured on the soundtrack of the first season of the show Scrubs.
