Stephanie's "music consists of strong melodic lines that let her highlight her great voice, built on a solid harmonic foundation and interesting rhythmic variations. Her lyrics and song themes range from the melancholy blue of “Child of Misfortune” and “Catapult”, to the playful, joyful, “Maple Tree”. This is music that you will love to listen to while dining, having a couple of drinks and some friendly conversation, or when kicking back at home after a long day. It will entertain you, facilitate social interaction, and rejuvenate your spirit.
