The Career of Steve Myland

Steve Myland’s career has risen and grown with some of the greats of the music industry over the past five decades. Steve worked alongside Trini Lopez, who was instrumental in the creation of folk-rock and the formation of latin-rock, as well as being the only latin member of Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack. Lopez was also given the rare honor of being asked by the Gibson Guitar company to consult on the design of two signature instruments, both of which have become collectors’ items prized by stars like Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Noel Gallagher of Oasis. Grohl has been quoted, when pointing at his ruby-red Lopez Gibson, as saying, “This is the sound of the Foo Fighters”.

Church On The Street

In the 80’s, Steve started “Church on the Streets”. In 1986, they gained corporation status as a nonprofit organization. They delivered food, clothing and furniture to over 400 homeless weekly with no overhead of a facility.
In the 90’s, they acquired and donated properties, homes, food, clothing, holiday care packages for prisoners and the homeless, along with moving into “the big red church” on the corner of 9th Street and McKinley.

The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture

In 2014, a key piece from Myland’s collection was generously gifted to The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. The historic contribution centered on Jackie Robinson’s 1947 National League Championship Ring, commemorating his pivotal role in breaking the color barrier in modern Major League Baseball.

Contributions to Big Brother

Steve was a Big Brother from 1977 to 1982 in Los Angeles. When Steve Myland sold the first Hank Aaron jersey, Steve donated part of the money he received to Big Brothers.
