Rock ‘n’ roll lifers don’t fake it — and Steve Conte has been living it for decades. In this Press Play Radio Conversation, Steve sits down with The Don to talk about the stories, collaborators, and moments that shaped his career — from writing songs with XTC’s Andy Partridge to touring the world with Michael Monroe and surviving the beautiful chaos of the New York Dolls. Along the way, he breaks down the creative spark behind tracks like “Shoot Out the Stars,” the spirit behind his latest record The Concrete Jangle, and why real rock music is still about heart, instinct, and connection.
