"NOW IF I ERR - LET IT BE, IN RECKLESS ABANDON TO THE HEART YOU'VE GIVEN ME!"

BIOGRAPHY

Stephanie Pauline has proved herself a force to be reckoned with. The singer/songwriter from Minneapolis, currently residing in Colorado Springs, has spread her message of love and hope through the power of her inspirational lyrics. Stephanie coined the term "foaltro" to describe her music, influenced by folk, alternative, rock and Christian music. Listening to Stephanie, one is reminded of great artists like Sara McLachlan, Jewel and Alison Krauss, as her voice pierces the soul and leaves listeners aching for more. After what she calls five years of darkness, Stephanie says God recovered her and renewed within her an inborn sense of music. Songwriting came to her like breathing or laughing, she says.

As a singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist, Stephanie has garnered attention from record labels and high-level industry professionals. However, alongside this success is Stephanie�s tremendous commitment to worthy causes, world relief efforts and social evangelism. The non profit organization More than Music Inc. Stephanie founded in 2004 has enabled her to make many mission trips, including a month long foray to an orphanage in Vijayawada, India where the singer/songwriter experienced first hand the destitution that plagues much of the world.


Stephanie Pauline has written over four hundred songs and has recorded four albums, having co-produced each, including Rush the Sea and Deep Blue Sky recorded with reknowned musicians in LA and Nashville. She has been featured in newspapers around the Midwest and one of her songs was used on a soundtrack in a film called My Lawyer. She has performed over 80 dates from 2006-2007 in venues ranging from civic centers, and theatres, to local pubs, detention and treatment centers, churches and coffee houses. Her music is receiving more and more radio play in the US and internationally, and she did 10 radio interviews last year.


Stephanie is currently planning a Deep Blue Sky tour to be announced soon and hopes to record many more albums. You can purchase Stephanie Pauline music at www.morethanmusicinc.com or visit her myspace at www.myspace.com/themorethanmusicband.com.

Legends: Bobby Braddock

In Nashville, most successful songwriters have a fairly short run. On hit, one year, two years, five years. Occasionally, we get one whose career approaches the length of a real career or, more often, one who has a few years success, then slips into oblivion, only to emerge again for another brief era of hit-making.

Legends: Rickie Lee Jones

She speaks softly, not unlike the way she sings --soft, soulful passages, almost like secrets to the closest of friends --punctuated by bursts of exaltation. It's much like the span of emotion in her work, and in her new record, Balm in Gilead, which veers from the pure, naked heartbreak of "Bonfires" to the elation of "Old Enough," to the beautiful "Wild Girl," which celebrates the 21st birthday of her daughter, while simultaneously reflecting on the unchained fervor of her own wild days.

Legends: Robert Earl Keen

As singer/songwriters go, Robert Earl Keen doesn't seem like the kind of artist who could honestly be accused of sloth. But despite a catalog choked with characters and conversations pulled from a colorful life, he makes that very claim on "Something That I Do," a track where he brags of his ability to not let work get in the way of an otherwise pleasant afternoon.

Townes Van Zandt: Facets, Faults & Fractures

It's 10 o'clock at night on an abandoned Music Row. The year is 1985. In a third-floor office in an old house that serves as the offices for the Oak Ridge Boys' Silverline/Goldline Music Publishing, Steve Earle brings the chair he's leaning back in down hard, flipping his hair out of his eyes for emphasis.
