About Rushton Moreve

  • Rushton Moreve (born John Rushton Morey; November 6, 1948 – July 1, 1981) was an American bass guitarist best known for his work with the rock band Steppenwolf from 1967–68 and again in 1978.

  • Moreve joined the band in 1967 and performed on their debut album, Steppenwolf, which was composed of covers and songs written by Kay.
  • Moreve's influence was heavier on the follow-up, The Second, his final album with Steppenwolf.
