stephaniesd is indie-pop revelry! Their latest record - the edgy, beautiful Grus americanus - landed the band on hundreds of radio playlists and several "Best Of" lists in 2008, including "Best Indie Band" by the Mountain Xpress Weekly for the 3rd year in a row. The Asheville-based band has built a strong and loyal fanbase across the Eastern U.S. with their kinetic performances (singer Stephanie Morgan has been described by the press as both "a hyperactive siren" and "Jim Morrison at a ballet class."). The band possesses the authentic ability to take their audiences to meditative, melancholy places and also to phrenetic, visceral heights. Their much-lauded performance at Bonnaroo 2008 cemented the band's reputation as one of the best live acts in the region.
