Fennell has worked on several projects of all genres over the last 30 years. Jeff and John Murphy from "Shoes" produced and released "Roc Sinatra " and Herb Eimerman's solo projects which influenced Steven in every aspect of his music career. The production style featured lyrical story telling, layered background vocals, unique guitar sounds and full body dynamic song structure that would eventually be the signature sound for what later became AFTER ALICE.
