Stephanie Smittle (she/her) is a mezzo-soprano whose history of engagements includes singing Baroque arias in reverberant cathedrals, composing gender-flipped murder ballads in the freak folk tradition, and premiering new art songs by living composers for the recital hall. Her self-titled debut solo album is a collection of ten songs for voice and electric autoharp, which the Arkansas Democrat Gazette called “folk rock from outer space … a stunning self-titled solo debut” from “a skilled and observant lyricist unafraid to express vulnerability and rage and wonder.”
