ABOUT CASII STEPHAN: Casii Stephan is an MN-born, indie-pop meets soul-rock singer-songwriter based in Tulsa, OK. Casii’s “gorgeously emotive voice inspires comparisons to alt-pop artists like Florence Welch and Fiona Apple with a writing style reminiscent of Carole King” (NPR). Stephan’s voice is fierce and fearless, but this was not always the case. She grew up shy and afraid of her voice until she started writing songs on the family piano when she was 16. Casii moved to Tulsa in 2014 with the intent to give up her pursuit of a music career. However, with a little encouragement from a friend, she continued songwriting and started releasing music in 2016. Since then, Casii has received national songwriting awards, toured regionally and internationally, performed official SXSW and Folk Alliance showcases, performed in NYC at A2IM, performed at the virtual Sundance Film Festival, and profiled on platforms such as Billboard, NPR, SPIN, and American Songwriter. She recently returned from her first international tour with stops in Ireland and the UK. In Jan 2025, she was an official showcase artist at the “Your Roots are Showing” international music conference. ABOUT RUTHIES CRAFT: Ruthie Craft’s cinematic pop-soul style is characterized by powerful vocals and evocative lyrics, embodying her journey from a young girl in rural Washington to a rising star in Austin, TX. She channels heartbreak, life lessons, and her challenges with Tourette's syndrome into songwriting, creating a space where vulnerability meets empowerment. Inspired by personal experiences and the therapeutic power of singing, her music connects deeply with listeners, offering solace and inspiration. With over 75,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Ruthie has collaborated with producers and artists across the country, and has billed with Sir-Mix-A-Lot, Wheatus, Shakey Graves, JMSN, Magic City Hippies, Die Spitz, Black Joe Lewis, Paul McDonald, and Nané, and others. Her debut EP, "Sound of Blue," reflects her unique sound, inspired by a variety of influences from Adele to Joji. Two of the album’s singles, “Nineteen” (2023) and “Just Believe” (2024) were awarded Best Music Video at Austin Spotlight Video Awards, depicting true stories of heartache, sexual abuse trauma, and resilience. Currently touring across the country, Ruthie continues to captivate audiences and define her sound as an artist dedicated to authenticity.
