Artist bio
Hailing from Melbourne/Naarm, Steph Strings is a dynamic singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music merges fingerstyle brilliance with storytelling steeped in nature, emotion, and adventure. Blending blues, Celtic, folk and percussive flair, her sound reflects influences like John Butler, Kim Churchill and Ziggy Alberts—yet remains entirely her own.
After releasing her breakout EP LION in 2023, Steph hit the road for a string of sold-out headline shows across Australia, the UK, Europe, and Canada, while also opening for The Cat Empire, Vance Joy and Ziggy Alberts on major international tours. Her stage presence—both powerful and intimate—has captivated audiences from Rolling Stone Weekender (Germany) to Woodford Folk Festival (Australia), Hillside and Edmonton Folk Festivals (Canada), and Les Escales (France).
In 2024, she released her latest EP Cradle Mountain, a project shaped by introspection and time spent in nature. The release was followed by another global run of headline shows and festival slots, including Winnipeg Folk Festival and Ottawa Bluesfest. This year, Steph is writing new music while also heading on her first-ever North American tour, supporting Ziggy Alberts.
With a combined social media audience size of 1.1M and sold out shows across the world, Steph’s journey from sharing acoustic videos online to becoming a world-touring artist is a testament to both her talent and tenacity. She’s a true musician’s musician—guided by instinct, grounded in humility, and driven by a deep connection to her craft.
