Angie Stevens
For a singer/songwriter to stand out from the pack, they have to possess the kind of magical voice that makes a listener stop in their tracks and pay attention.  Denver's Angie Stevens has that kind of voice, and it's drenched in Americana akin to Patty Griffin or EmmyLou Harris.  Stevens also has the songwriting chops to match, as Westword Magazine recently named her Denver's Best Singer/Songwriter.  Now Stevens is back with her third and most powerful album to date, Queen of This Mess on Boss Koala Records and produced by Malcolm Burn (Midnight Oil, Patti Smith).
Stevens, whose music combines elements of alt-country, indie rock, contemporary folk and pop, has gained national attention over the last few years following the releases of her first two albums, I'm Okay (2005) and Stand Up Girl (2006).  She's gained attention with a captivating live show that matches or exceeds the intensity on both albums.  Her song, "Sleepwalking," was featured on HBO's "Big Love" and her video for "Stand Up Girl" was a pick of the week on CMT's Top 20 Video Countdown.  Stevens has toured as well, playing venues from Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles to Coors Field in Denver and other venues in 21 states; and has showcased at SXSW, Sundance Film Festival and at the inaugural Monolith Festival at Red Rocks in 2007.  Stevens is sponsored by Coors Beer and Cowgirlpunk Clothing. Shut Eye Records represented Angie Stevens at Americana/Roots radio in 2009.
