Steve’s hobbies include antiques, historical re-enacting, farming and restoring old John Deere tractors.

Steve's personal passion is music. In between recording numerous jingles and performing as a side man, Steve found time to lead his own 20 piece jazz orchestra (The Steve LeClaire Big Band) which performed in the central Mass area in the early 1990’s. During this period, he also performed blistering R&B with Rhode Island based bands “Pier Pressure” and “The Boys of Summer”.

Steve can still be found performing locally with his sax. If you'd like to read more about Steve's musical passion, link to his musical site here.
