All Access Live with Kevin Rankin
Podcast Description
I started All Access Live because I believe every artist has a tale worth telling—and the richest, most revealing moments happen off-camera. As someone who has spent life touring and recording in the music industry, I know that the best stories aren’t in the press releases—they’re in the moments of spontaneity. That’s why my promise is simple: no filters, no fluff, just genuine in–depth conversations that bring you closer to the creative minds behind your favorite music, films, and other creative endeavours.

What better place to talk to one of the voices of the MTV era than backstage at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio, during the Totally Tubular Festival!
I caught up with Trevor Steel, lead singer, guitarist and founding member of The Escape Club, for a great conversation about the band’s incredible journey — from their early days in London to becoming one of the biggest crossover success stories of the late ’80s.
If you remember “Wild, Wild West,” you remember one of the defining songs of the era. The 1988 smash reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning The Escape Club a Grammy nomination and making the band an international sensation. Their follow-up hits “Shake for the Sheik” and “I’ll Be There” also made the Billboard Top 30.
But there’s a whole lot more to Trevor Steel’s story. Trev’s dealt with some heavy losses over the past few years, having lost bandmates Johnny Christoforou after an extended bout of cancer and an unexpected passing from drummer Red Van Broad.
Recorded LIVE at the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, Ohio, during the Totally Tubular Festival, surrounded by some of the artists who helped define the sound of the ’80s.
This is another great trip down the musical rabbit hole on ALL ACCESS LIVE!
