Description
Stephen Babcock
Hailing from the Rust Belt, Stephen Babcock’s journey began in modest surroundings, a world shaped by the blue-collar pulse of industry. Amidst a family of four, including a twin, he absorbed the musical background passed down by his father. At 13, he started crafting songs, laying the foundation for a career as a singer-songwriter.
Eight years of relentless dedication birthed “Said & Done,” Stephen’s inaugural project that resonated with the authenticity of Rust Belt roots. As the release echoed beyond the industrial horizon, he embarked on a nationwide tour, from intimate Nashville writers’ rooms to stages across the United States.
“Fiction,” the critically acclaimed EP dropped in April 2018, showcasing Stephen’s genre-blending prowess. Opening for Ed Sheeran, William Hinson, Brad Goodall, and others, he became a favorite of PASTe, Atwood Magazine, Variance Mag and more.
“Monroe,” released in October 2021, solidified his place in the musical landscape. “When We Were Kids Ourselves” followed in late 2022, both albums weaving tales inspired by the honest songwriting Stephen has become known for.
With the release of Stephen’s latest album “A Break in the Conversation” in September 2024, Stephen’s trajectory from Rust Belt beginnings to a musical force on the horizon signifies not just an individual journey but a collective anthem for those who find strength in simplicity and beauty in struggle.
