Alumnus Launches Professional Music Career

Quite a few college students have jam sessions with their friends during the weekends to blow off some steam after a week of intense school work. For Stephen DeFrancesco ('16) and his two best friends at Samford, however, their jam sessions have become a professional gig.


Stephen and his band, Steve and the Roommates, released their first EP titled "Searching" in February 2019. This collection of three original indie/alternative tracks is the product of two years of singing, songwriting, and ultimately, recording.

 

Read more about Stephen's journey to the musical spotlight and how it all began at Cornerstone.
