"Steven Noel Wariner was born in Noblesville, Indiana, on December 25, 1954.[2] Influenced at an early age by George Jones and Chet Atkins, Wariner started performing in his father's band, and later moved on to playing in local clubs. By age 17, he had been hired by Dottie West as a bass guitarist, and played on her single "Country Sunshine".[2] He also worked with Glen Campbell, whom he has cited as a major influence on his work.[3] After his stint with Dottie West, Steve Wariner toured playing bass for Grand Ole Opry star Bob Luman, and it was during this period that he was signed to RCA records by Chet Atkins, with whom he toured internationally playing bass guitar in 1979."
