Sweet and soulful is the sound of alt-country’s Steff Mahan. With a voice that is pure and powerful and lyrics that are heart-crafted and rock-solid, it’s hard not to get hooked on the emotional truth that comes out of this born songwriter’s mouth.
Steff’s self-titled debut album and her second release, 42.50, both garnered national attention, creating a coast-to-coast fan base from LA to New York. It was famed New York DJ Jim Kerr who said, “you’ll soon be hearing the name Steff Mahan” during a live performance and interview on Sirius Satellite Radio. Billboard’s Mike Gionet called Steff’s mix of rock, roots, folk and country “an entertaining can’t-miss performance.”
Steff's newest album, Never a Long Way Home, was recently released to rave reviews. Wildy's World proclaimed this third album as "...her best to date.” iTunes may have said it best with its review of the album as "a song collection displaying both craft and heart, sung by an artist who wins extra points for her honesty."
Steff has shared the stage with such big name artists as Patty Griffin, The Indigo Girls, Tift
Merritt, 10,000 Maniacs, Blame Sally, Holly Williams and Antigone Rising, and has established herself as a popular Nashville singer/songwriter. Performing approximately 200 hundred dates a year, Steff has graced the stages of such notable venues as Atlanta's Eddie's Attic, Nashville's The Bluebird Cafe, NYC's The Bitter End, Charlotte's The Evening Muse, and Birmingham's Workplay Theater.
A consummate performer Steff is equally at home performing on a festival stage in front of thousands of people as she is tucked into the corner of an intimate living room for a private house concert.
Succeeding largely on her own terms, Steff plays music because she loves it and because she wants to share this love with others. It’s exactly this desire that allows her to captivate an audience; to take them on an intimate tour of her music; to stay long after her shows talking to everyone and to call nearly every person she meets a friend.
Steff recently won the 2011 Acoustic Roundtable Worldwide Singer/Songwriter Contest for her song “I Tend to Lose Things” and received an honorable mention in the 2010 International Songwriting Competition for her song “Mad at Me.”
