Stephanie Davis
Western Music & Cowboy Songs
Ranch life is the material source for Montana songwriter Stephanie
Davis. A one-room homestead cabin built in 1900 by a Finnish
bachelor fawmaer immigrant now serves as Stephanie’s writing and
recording headquarters. "When I first saw it sitting out in the
field, the cows had been living in it and it was in tough shape," she
says. "I’m sure the neighbors thought I was crazy, but I took one look
at it and said ‘that’s it—my writing cabin!’ After a summer of
re-roofing, wiring, chinking, and restoring, Stephanie moved her desk
in and began working on her songs and stories.
Songwriting is hands-down the most aggravating, exhilarating,
enlightening, challenging, and exasperating thing I have ever done... and
that's probably why I am so crazy about it."
The fourth-generation Montanan spent several years in Nashville,
honing her craft and having her songs recorded by such artists as
Garth Brooks, Roger Whittaker, Shelby Lynne, Martina McBride, Laurie Lewis,
and Don Edwards. In addition, she has gained respect as a soulful vocalist
and talented multi-instrumentalist, both live and in the studio.
Stephanie has three self-produced CDs out on her own label, Recluse
Records. In addition to recording her songs, her dear friend Garth
Brooks included her for several stints in his touring band, and in 1994
was kind enough to invite her to open his shows for the year. She is
featured in Hal Cannon's documentary film called "Why The Cowboy Sings",
which premiered at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and on PBS
stations nationwide. In addition, she keeps busy singing at festivals, cowboy
poetry gatherings, and concerts throughout the west.
