Back after personal tragedy, Steve Morse sets the record straight on Triangulation, Deep Purple and more

Steve Morse has been through it all since stepping back from Deep Purple in 2022. Initially taking a temporary hiatus from the band to tend for his wife Janine who was battling cancer at the time, he eventually announced his permanent departure a few months later. However with Triangulation, his new solo release, the Ohio native is getting back to what he does best: tasteful licks, wailing leads and rocking riffs. 

EonMusic‘s Eamon O’Neill caught up with Steve during rehearsals at his home in Florida. They chatted about the new Triangulation album, musical education, collaborating with people like John Petrucci and Eric Johnson, arthritis, the emotional impact of the track Taken By An Angel, a bit of Steve’s Deep Purple history, and more.
