During the summer of 2010, Steph Macpherson found herself with a performance schedule that included Vancouver's Lilith Fair, Victoria's Blue Sky Festival, Rifflandia Festival, and The Peak 100.5fm Vancouver & Music BC's Peak Performance Project Showcase.
Since releasing her EP less than a year ago, she has added opening for Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Sugarland, Colbie Calait, Erykah Badu, Tom Cochrane, Colin James, and Men Without hats, to her repertoire of performances. Steph recently completed an October tour of BC & Alberta and performed at the 2010 Western Canadian Music Awards Showcase BreakOutWest to promote her EP To You.
Steph’s folk/pop album “To You” has had airplay on CBC Radio One, CBC Radio 3, Vancouver’s Peak 100.5 FM, Alberta’s CKUA, Evolution 107.9 (BCIT), CJSF (SFU) and CJUM (UofM); she has also received interviews and/or on-air performances with CTV News, eTalk Daily, The Peak 100.5, CBC Radio 3 and Calgary’s Mix 97.7.
The BC born Kiwi-Canadian singer-songwriter began her endeavor into the world of music at the early age of four. After seeing The Little Mermaid for the first time, she knew she wanted to be a singing mermaid. When she failed to grow a fin, she picked up a guitar, turned into songwriting, and began pursuing music as a human in her hometown of Victoria, BC.
She has since showcased on stages along side the likes of Jesse Winchester, Leeroy Stagger, Greg Macpherson, Kinnie Starr, Raising the Fawn, and Yukon Blonde (formerly Alphababy), as well as local loves Aidan Knight, Vince Vaccaro, Maurice, and Acres of Lions. She also sang backing vocals on friend and fellow Peak Performance Project musician Vince Vaccaro's album, Animals, released 2009.
Steph has toured from the West Coast of Canada, to Montreal and written/recorded two EP's: To You (2009), recorded at Infinity Studios in Victoria, BC, with friend and producer Jason Cook (also produced or engineered: Tal Bachman, Wil, & TheSet) and Shapes Only You Can Make (2005) recorded/produced by Ryan Hauschild (Hannah Georgas, Hey Ocean!, Elias) of Vancouver, BC.
Steph now calls Vancouver home.
