"PITTSBURG — Steve Mramor never lived in Franklin, but the community has been a big part of his life and inspires his music. The Cleveland, Ohio singer/songwriter and his band, Steve Mramor and Friends, will be featured in “A Celebration of American Music” from 7 to 9 p.m. today and Saturday in a tent set up on the grounds of the Miners Hall Museum, Franklin. There will be no admission charge, but seating will be limited and reservations may be made through the Miners Hall Museum. Those attending may also bring lawn chairs. The concert will cap off “The Way We Worked,” a traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit that opened May 11 at the museum. Last day of the exhibit will be from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. Mramor’s grandparents, Anton and Paula Yanesh Femec, lived in Franklin for a time and his mother, Jennie Mramor, grew up there. " - The Morning Sun (Jun 20, 2013)
“Cleveland is a hidden gem of musicians. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame may have put that on the musical map but there is much more to this city than what you actually see. Witch and Toad is a prime example that is nearly 30 years in the making. Steve Mramor was 30 years into his musical journey before he discovered Raven Dana and her daughter singing in a local coffee shop. Suddenly Steve found himself on a new musical path that took his music to another electrifying level. Sometimes when you least expect it, inspiration will find you and your creative juices will take you on it’s own journey. The song “Uncle Johnny” tells the stories that were told to Steve by his Grandmother and Mother had of their time during the Great Depression. With all the singer songwriters out their today, I would say Witch and Toad are at the top of their game. Their songwriting and composing is well defined and flows softly and brilliantly. ” Wordkrapht

FRANKLIN, KS—Singer-songwriter Steve Mramor has been invited to perform his original song Uncle Johnny, chronicling the 1936 death of his great-uncle, Johnnie Femec, in Franklin’s Mine 24, along with other original and traditional folk music June 21-22, 2013, at the Miners Hall Museum. Mramor’s performance coincides with the Smithsonian’s traveling exhibition “The Way We Worked,” which honors the heritage of Crawford and Cherokee County May 11-June 23. Spanning the years 1857-1987, the exhibit chronicles the effects of American ideals of freedom and equality, industrialization, labor unrest, immigration and working conditions in the mines, on farms and assembly lines. Mramor, who was born and resides in Cleveland, OH, also will share anecdotal history of life in Franklin during the Great Depression passed down from his mother and grandmother, who lived in Franklin before moving to Cleveland.

Okay, so I've been checking out your tunes. Was not expecting that Steven, I feel the same about your music. Before tonight I would have told anyone as plain as day that this was not my style of music. Though I do listen to everything with an open mind, it took me by surprise. Think I shall put you as the 3rd recommended artist on my reverb profile. Thanks again! " - Dustwave, Reverbnation
