Steve Ouimette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Ouimette (born June 18, 1968) is a rock guitarist. He is well-known for performing a cover version of the hit song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" (which was originally by the Charlie Daniels Band) for the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, in which the parts played on the fiddle are instead played on an electric guitar (though the lyrics remained unchanged). Aside from this track, Ouimette also recorded seven other songs for the game[1], and also made a version of the Christmas carol (technically an Epiphany carol) "We Three Kings" released as downloadable content for Guitar Hero III.[2]

His original songs are Willow, Sleep is a Drug, Too Tough for Love (80's recovered song), and Mail Order Saviour.
