Stephanie Carlin is not just another girl with a guitar. Finding a sweet spot that forbids easy pigeonholing, Carlin teeters on the line where jazz phrasing and spontaneity fuse with the melodic syncopation of funk and a lush, organic folk twinge. Her intimate melodies on voice and acoustic guitar explode with power alongside a remarkably blossomed band: Xander Naylor (electric guitar), Javi Santiago (piano), Russ Flynn (bass) and Wes Reid (drums).
