Stephen Wade (born 1953) is an American folk musician, writer, and researcher.
Stephen Wade grew up in Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s where, early on, he came to know a number of vernacular musicians who had moved north to the city from the Mississippi Delta and the Southern Appalachians. Wade started playing blues guitar at age eleven, and by his teens, began focusing on the five-string banjo.
Wade met banjo player and singer Fleming Brown at Chicago's Old Town... plus
