Singer-songwriter Steph Yeager came by her gritty, soulful sound honestly. Her childhood summers were spent immersed in southern gospel music at her grandpa’s church in Memphis. At 14, and curious, you could find her guitar in hand surrounded by slam poets in Chicagoland coffee shops and open mics. As a still green musician at 19, she moved to Tennessee, where she immersed herself in delta blues, country, and rock ‘n roll. It would long be a wellspring of material for her songwriting. She experienced a string of losses and bad luck, and took her pain and loss to the solitude and vastness of Alaska. Sitting in her cabin with Leonard Cohen on repeat, she found her voice again in the solace and healing of the northern lights and boundless landscape. Steph returned to civilization (kinda), taking up residence in Montana. The perfect mix of people, creative community, and nearness to nature. Her music takes you along with her on this journey, landing right where you want to be.
