Pressure Ridge is Steve Nebel (guitar, vocals) & Kristi Nebel (bass guitar, vocals). They have been performing variety dance music since the late 70s. They use a laptop computer and sound module with midi files to back up their vocals, guitar and bass guitar to provide a full band sound.

Steve and Kristi’s first full time professional booking was in Nome, Alaska.  They spent 5 months in Nome between January, and May of 1985.  The summer after that took them to Seward, Valdez, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Sitka.  They have been making their living playing music ever since.

Steve plays a red Chinese manufactured Fender Stratocaster with Lace Sensor pickups.  Kristi plays a Fender Mustang bass guitar.  She traded a Peavey T-40 straight across for the Mustang.  She was in Dutch Harbor, Alaska playing at the Elbow Room at the time.
