stephen stroope, vocalist for meltdown morning, has been a member of various

choirs and is a veteran of musicals in his hometown of galveston, texas. This

musical training has served him well. stephen's home, however, is not on the

risers of a choir but under the punishing lights of a club with 50 of his closest

friends. he navigates the passages of a song like a talladega driver in a hairpin

turn:always at the edge of oblivion and always in control. He takes the listener

on a roller-coaster ride with him through the most bitter lows and the loftiest of

ecstasies. you are thankful for the trip.
