Described variously as vivacious, exuberant and fearless, Stephanie Hatfield has a depth of character and song-writing skill that add up to an exciting package. This is music that embodies the emotional release of having your heart ripped apart and lovingly put back together again, but it’s the raw power of Hatfield’s delivery that makes it a pulse-racing adventure.

Out This Fell, her 4th studio album, is an Indie/Folk/Pop offering that spins an assortment of epic tales including that of a 50-year friendship set in Naples, the abandonment of those left to the decay of Detroit, enduring a mental breakdown in the mountains of Northern New Mexico, and the sweet simplicity of alove that still holds true and comforting even after death.  These are songs about pain, love, admiration, compassion, confusion, longing and comfort.

Hatfield says: “With this album, I have set out to express that calling in all of us to feel something - anything - to set a soundtrack to emotion. It’s my story, my lens, my work and I am still seeking to find it everyday. We all have our own and I feel fortunate that I get to share mine in this way.”

Sharing production duties with esteemed producer/engineer/musician Bill Palmer, Hatfield describes creating this album with her band members as the ultimate expression of trust, absolutely integral to the process. “I couldn’t be more grateful - they’re like family.”

Listen closely to the intimacy of the interplay and you may hear a log fire crackling in the background on Michigan. Seemlingly symbolic of the wildness itself, coyotes recorded on the Continental Divide Trail pepper the etheral sounds on In Those Woods.

Recorded and mixed by Bill Palmer at Torreon Studio in Santa Fe, and mastered by Frank Arkwright from Abbey Road Studios in London.
