Across the decades, the old, street-corner, publike “hotels” and bars of Melbourne, Australia, have launched many artists to global acclaim, including the likes of John Farnham, Nick Cave, Paul Kelly and Courtney Barnett, to name but a few.
Now Steph Strings is ready for her international breakout.
Hailing originally from Melbourne, Strings got her start as a street performer playing guitar instrumentals. She was 19 years old when she played her first formal gig at The Evelyn Hotel, a bar with a music room, on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, just outside central Melbourne, working up the courage to sing with her guitar for the first time.
“I sang ‘Dusty Roads’ that night,” she recalls in a mini-documentary posted on her website, describing her performance of an early song. “And it sounded horrific.” But her family, she says, “were so proud of me.” (On Spotify, “Dusty Roads” has since been streamed more than 2.1 million times).
Now 25, Strings is a confident, accomplished singer-songwriter whose debut album, Feel Alive, arrived in Australia on Jan. 9 and debuted at No. 2 on the ARIA album chart — a remarkable achievement for a fully independent, self-released title.
A charming virtuoso who has spent years posting performances online, String’s engaging social media presence has fueled her rise. She has topped 976,000 followers on Instagram, and a recent reel of her performance with Jesse Wells at Massey Hall in Toronto has topped 10,600 views.
All of this has set the stage for Strings’ first extended headlining tour of North America, Europe, Australia, with a one-off performance in Brazil, followed by festival dates including the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in June, and — just announced — dates with Wells in July, August and October.
Strings played her first headlining show in Brooklyn on March 18 at Baby’s All Right in the Williamsburg neighborhood. Here are five of the evening’s best moments:
