Meditative, joyful, and magnetic. August Lee Stevens is a genre bending singer-songwriter that blends tender lyrics, and atmospheric vocals to create something that feels authentic.

Called a “Star on the rise” by KQED, August is a Bay Area based artist drawing from the legacies of Neo-Soul, Folk, and Indie music. She has shared stages with artists such as Smokey Robinson, Seal, The Philharmonic, LaRussel, and Martin Luther McCoy. She released her first EP, Better Places to critical acclaim after receiving a recording grant from Women’s Audio Mission (WAM).

In 2026 she released her first album, Live at the Troubadour as an interim project while she currently records her debut album.

With just a guitar and piano August shines in this solo performance highlighting her songwriting, charm and authenticity.

She is also one of the founding members of the artist collective, Oakland Rising which has shared stages with Sheila E, Rhiannon Giddens, and Joy Oladakun. She is currently recording her debut album which digs into her familial roots and history slated to release late 2026.
