Meet the Cast of A Christmas Carol's Past: Stephanie Hamood

Meet Stephanie Hamood

I was Fan, Want & others in 2001 & 2002 and am a musician and singer/songwriter currently living in Nashville. I have toured and worked with various acts over the years (from Anita Baker to The Black Keys). I'm working on my own solo project now, with an album produced by Alabama Shakes producer Andrija Tokic! We are aiming for an early 2020 release (single release Feb, album March).

Here are a couple blurbs from music reviewers, if any of this is helpful in describing the music we're making -

"Stephie James resurrects the heart-stirring soul of her legacy artists that span the roots gamut. Summoning the melancholy melodies of Roy Orbison and the vigorous spirit of Billie Holiday, she makes good on delivering an EP that is every bit as riveting as the on-stage displays that she has gifted the Nashville scene with for years. Somewhere in-between elements of country, soul, and jazz is a dedication to progressive rock 'n' roll, proving James' artistic know-how beside a staunch passion for delivering sincere messages through robust hooks." -Jonathan Frahm, PopMatters

"The EP itself is a perfect distillation of the best elements Detroit rock has had to offer over the last two decades: timeless leather-cool, thanks to the resurgence of Iggy Pop and the omnipresence of Jack White - and, above all else, great songwriting. From the Americana rock churn of EP opener, “These Days,” the album puts your expectations on the backfoot immediately: one part Phil Spector crooner and one part howling-for-blood rock as James snidely intones “The tide is turning, but some things never change.” Only three songs later, the album closes its five track suite with “Will You Be,” a heartbreaking ode to the enigmatic nature of waned love." - Bobby Cleveland, Brooklyn (baby robot media)
