Folk Pop from Stephanie Phillips

Hailing from West Chester in Pennsylvania, Stephanie Phillips is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who’s been playing and writing her own music from an early age. Over the years she’s performed live across the USA and played notable New York City venues such as the Village Gate and the Speakeasy, the latter she recorded for their Fast Folk record.

Offering a graceful progressive folk sound, her music is infused with emotion and delicate storytelling lyricism. Since opening for EmmyLou Harris in the 90s, she’s had a decorated sonic career releasing multiple albums that make up her stunning catalogue for music.

Sharing her most recent record in 2020 with What Have I Lost?, she now makes her return with a new single titled “The Last Word”. Written in response to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, with her new song Stephanie Phillips offers a touching tribute to the many children who tragically lost their lives and the families impacted by the events.

With her typical acoustic folk style, she lays down a colourful sound of upbeat rhythm, bright guitar tones and her compelling vocal work delivering hook-driven melodies that carry an important message. Taking a devastatingly sad topic, she pairs her joyous songwriting and vocal work to deliver a battle cry and anthem for those who champion gun reform in America and beyond.
