Music Feature - Stephie Coplan

Stirring a geeky cocktail of two parts Ben Folds, one part Regina Spektor, and a dash of Jerry Lee Lewis, Stephie Coplan is simply not your average songwriter. With a wink and a smirk, the New York City transplant blends quirky, clever lyrics with thunderous jazz piano, earning her frequent comparisons to Fountains of Wayne, Ingrid Michaelson, Kate Nash, and Amanda Palmer.

Check out more from her, including some awesome videos at:

Seriously guys, all marketing schtick aside, Justin really love Stephie's work, and has been planning on having her in JC for months. So come on down. It promises to be an asskicking good time.
