Details:
Stefanie Fix is a rather recent arrival to Austin, TX but she always seems to attract the cream of the crop wherever she goes [more on this below]. She’s a songwriter’s songwriter ''" she’s inspired to push the envelope on the confines of what defines the genre of singer/songwriter. She says she just got bored with the straight forward, “well crafted” approach to writing songs- first and foremost Stefanie is an Artist, make no mistake- she means it with a capital “A” and she make no apologies for her approach. She’s also an accomplished guitar player transitioning easily from percussive strumming to melodic picking to slide guitar.

Stefanie’s about to head back into the studio to make what will be her fourth CD- there’s no working title yet since that will grow out of the sounds they create- It’s being produced by Stephen Doster [Willie Nelson, Nancy Griffith, https://www.tradebit.comn] & Johnny Goudie. [Goudie, Canvas, Endocine]

She says, “When I decided to pair these two guys together I just thought they were both so talented. Johnny is a great musician and he’s had a lot of exposure to the bands that really started to influence me in past few years. Stephen on the other hand is a great guitar player and songwriter and he’s produced a ton of albums- he has a musical depth and sensitivity that speaks to the kind of songs I’m writing now. Stephen and I just feel the same way about what music is- that is, what music means to us and what we want to achieve by continuing to make music. I just thought it’d be a really challenging, inspiring pairing- they both have such different strengths that I thought either we’re going to tare each others heads off or we’re going to make something really great”.

Stefanie’s last full length CD, SURVIVAL was co-produced by Larry Campbell [Bob Dylan’s Guitar/Fiddle player] and the late Bob Mayo [Hall & Oates/Peter Frampton Piano player]. It was recorded at The Loft Recording Studio when she was living in upstate New York. The CD received a plethora of great reviews - AMG gave it 4 stars and Stefanie was touring all over North America with SURVIVAL in tow.

Stefanie gradually began to realize that the music she was most excited about wasn’t necessarily the type of music she was making. This became the seed for her next project Limited Sight Distance [LSD]. She wanted to create a sonic experience for the listener that could match the power, intensity and content of her lyrics, while simultaneously using her versatile and expressive voice in a less conventional manner. Having mastered “the craft” of songwriting, Fix made a clear and conscious choice [with LSD], to abandon those confines for the sake of pure expression and artistic exploration. The project included contributions from Adam Snyder, Jason and Justin Russo [all formally of Mercury Rev] and John Parker [Varnaline]. It was produced by Kevin McMahon whose past credits include Home [Jet Set Records] Cakelike (Vapor Records) and The Mooney Suzuki (Telestar Records). See, what we mean about attracting the cream of the crop. Folks like this just always want to work with her because what’s she’s doing is always so exciting.

With the new CD Stefanie says she wants to find a way to merge these two different styles of music. “I really want to make something that I haven’t quite heard anywhere yet- I want to draw on classic, brilliant producers like Daniel Lanios and George Martin while at the same time get the raw lo-fi qualities of producers like Dave Friedman and Kevin [McMahon]. With this in mind I don’t want to lose the song to the sound- I really want us to find a way to allow the listener to fully hear the song as a crafted piece but have these sonic landscapes and movements where they can lose themselves in the music if they want to”. Be looking for the new CD in late spring of 2006.
