Steve went on to work as a staff writer and arranger for legendary Motown producer, Harry Balk for his new Avatar Records label in Malibu. Steve came to Utah in the late 1980s for work at the Electronic Music Laboratory at the University of Utah where he served as teaching assistant for two tears under the composer in residence, electronic music pioneer, Dr. Vladimir Ussachevsky. Steve taught an electronic music theory, history/technique and did some experimental electronic music at this time as well as some original music scores and soundtracks for student films. One of these films won an award at the Oswego Film Festival in NY. While attending the University, Steve was also a part-time rock radio DJ and jingle writer/producer. Steve also staged a one man multimedia performance art show called WORDFUNWORDJERKWERKS at galleries and arts centers in the area.

Reviews: "Steve played the songs everyone knows and sound was great. We were in the back corner of the small cafe where we could easily hold a conversation but also clearly hear the music. He played great keyboard and has a nice voice. I thought it was fun when he had a former student from the School of Rock join him for a number. It was a good atmosphere to showcase his talents and I think it would be great fun to see him in a venue where he could engage the audience a bit more." - April,SLC - Mar 15, 2009

Playing old and new favorites, Auerbach rocked the intimate venue obliging the crowd with several inspirational encores." - Karen, SLC - Mar 13, 2009
