Artist description Put Tom Waits, Neil Finn, a piano and a tape recorder in a room and your result is Lo-Fi Stefan. By aligning the acoustic instrumentation and improvisational elements of jazz and bluegrass, the far-reaching lyrical themes of A-list folk, and the "in your face" attitude of pop/rock with his distinct vocal style and air-tight awareness of song structure, Stefan has discovered a celestial sound custom built for Triple-A radio. His intrepid traveling of the American highways and byways, his voracious reading habit, and two patient ears dedicated to listening to almost anyone or thing constitute the cornerstone of quality in Stefan's writing!

Music Style Indie Pop

Musical Influences Neil Finn, Joni Mitchell, Rufus Wainwright, Patty Griffin, Bob Dylan, Gillian Welch, Ron Sexsmith

Artist History Stefan entered the Tower of Learning in Saginaw, Michigan; was Jazz edumacated in the streets of Charleston, South Carolina; was branded songwriter by the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and called Nashville home from April of 2001 until October of 2002. He moved to Nashville to absorb the community's boundless spirit for writing, which helped him continue to create a solid catalog of songs based on traditional forms and structures. He has returned to Charleston, SC to establish roots, a live rock n' roll outfit and to tear the roof off the sucka'. And although Stefan is currently pushing elevator buttons down in the lobby of the music industry's ivory tower, look for him to be bellowing triumphantly from a rooftop near you in the months and years to come...
