Stephanie Eason is the Southwest’s most energetic and personable young country performer. Her magnetic personality and stage presence help her stand out in the sea of country performers today. Her friendly demeanor helps draw the crowd in and her amazing vocal talents and musicianship are appealing to both younger and older audiences alike.

Stephanie’s musical journey began in elementary school when she began learning to play the fiddle and piano. Within a few years, she was performing at every opportunity, with her first real taste of success coming in the summer of 2004 when she was a finalist out of more than 4000 entries for the “Gimme the Mike!” challenge. The contest was hosted by KTVK TV in Phoenix and was designed to showcase some of the Southwest’s most talented vocalists.

In June of 2005, Stephanie was invited to perform with Naomi Judd (of the legendary Judds) at the Arizona Women’s Expo. Stephanie was honored to share the stage with Naomi, and it inspired her to continue developing her vocal talents. The Arizona Women’s Expo is one of the top five consumer events (for attendance) held in Arizona each year, and is dedicated to the needs of women and their lifestyles.

In August of 2006, Stephanie was invited to join CMA® award winning radio personalities Tim and Willy as part of their “All Earl” Band. The band does parodies of current and classic country songs as well as original material and is made up of an all star cast of musicians such as Ray Herndon (of McBride and the Ride fame). Stephanie is an honorary “Earlene”, and still performs with them regularly at festivals and events around the Southwest.

In 2007, Stephanie was given the honor of performing at one of the nation’s largest country events…Country Thunder USA. This annual concert event draws nearly 100,000 visitors each year, and is headlined by acts such as Tim McGraw, Montgomery Gentry, and Alan Jackson. 2009 marked Stephanie’s third year performing at the event.

Stephanie has also had the opportunity to open shows at the Dodge Theater and Celebrity for such artists as Terri Clark, Clint Black, Blake Shelton, and Katrina Elam.

Stephanie is backed by a five piece band consisting of Brandon Kinser on drums; Stan Hitson on lead guitar and vocals; Mike Galli on lap steel, mandolin, rhythm guitar, harmonica, and vocals; Ray Nunez on vocals; and Eric Gilboe on bass and vocals.

The band is heading to Nashville in February to record a full length album and is planning to tour regionally in support of the album beginning in May/June of 2010.
