original music

Stolie's first compositions date back to the mid-90s. Her technique is percussive, rhythmic, finger-style and accompanies an even more versatile voice that can be adapted to fit all kinds of musical genres. Stolie performs with looping and harmonizers pedals to layer full arrangements on the fly. Her songwriting style falls in the pop-rock category with jazz, folk and Latin influences.

On Tuesday March 17, 2020, I played my last show in Puerto Vallarta for the high season. The next day, all entertainment venues would start shutting their doors due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We happened to be recording my show that night, and this live digital album captures the last bit of human connection most of us would experience for quite a while!

Luckily, in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and with drinks a-flowing, we found many reasons to laugh and enjoy being in this moment together. I appreciate those who did brave the early warnings to join me on this night.

It is advised to listen to the entire album (aka LIVE SHOW) in sequence to be able to follow along with the storyline and some call-back laughs. Consider it one of those old radio shows. Pour your self a pitcher of drinks (cuz one will NOT be enough), pick your comfiest seat, and take it from the top.

I'd like to extend a big thank you to Tracy Parks of Incanto for giving me the go-ahead to shift the concept of my solo shows at the Incanto Piano Bar midway through the season. In January I started promoting a music+comedy show to highlight my sense of humor and diverse collection of music to inspire laughter and performance art to raise eyebrows! I allowed myself each week to delve further beyond G-rated territory, openly exploring topics like my unsuccessful dating history, responding to negative Nancys and spreading STDs. I also included more audience interaction by doing my own soft-core version of lap dancing, passing around a shared plate of patries, and interrogating the audience about their personal love lives. (And they were willing to share!)

WARNING: From raunchy to ridiculous, this show is RATED R and features songs and stories that may have you feeling delightfully uncomfortable! If you feel offended, I won't be offended if you have to leave. Just show me your tips on the way out! But seriously, if it's not your cup of tea, please do share it with that friend who's got the nasty sense of humor who always makes your eyes roll in embarrassment.

"Satire-Laden Melodies" Screaming Galaxy Records (SGR005)
For those of you who have witnessed Stolie's live acoustic set, be prepared for a sonic treat. This new collection lies somewhere between the soulful sounds of Sade and the balls-out rock of The White Stripes. There's an array of sweet and smooth hip-hop beats, head-pounding anthems, and a couple of the acoustic-based love tunes you've come to know and love from Stolie.

Here's what the paid writers are saying:

InMusicWeTrust (Online), February 2005
Growing by leaps and bounds since her previous, folk-based, self-titled album, Stolie has entered the realm of the beguiling. Satire-Laden Melodies opens with its title, which is all slinky, sexy and rides atop a trippy beat loop. Kind of like Poe on opium - heady stuff. Next, Stolie slips into something more summery with "Table," a glistening, drifting pop gem powered by some kooky electronics and Stolie's airy, innocent coos. After an epic-leaning, distorted guitar intro, "Up to the Highlands" reveals itself to be an intoxicating fusion of hip-hop street cool and buzzy rave-hall trance. While a couple of her previous folkie-yolkie tunes are thrown into the mix, possibly to remind listeners where her base is, it's the electronically fortified fare that is the most satisfying and filling. Maybe Satire-Laden Melodies is what modern folk music sounds like when it decides to get dressed up and feel sexy, or perhaps it is simply the sound of Stolie finding her sound. Pour me another shot, please. - Scott D. Lewis

Independent (Raleigh, NC), November 4, 2004
Chicago's mid-20s chanteuse Stolie boasts a record collection as wide and inclusive as her stylistic comfort zones. She plays on a white-girl soul with an electronics-on-ice vibe one moment, while sliding naturally into tight, Indigo-shaded harmonies the next. The latter proclivity finds her at her best, painting city-framed vignettes of love inside of a kiss on "Skin," just as well as, say, Laura Veirs or Cantrell. - Grayson Currin

Bitch Magazine, Summer 2004
True to its title, Stolie's latest is quick with sardonic flip of the tongue, backed by a synthetic sound punctuated by moments of acoustic charm. She injects a charismatic personal energy in to the type of music that can, in the wrong hands, bog down in a heavy-handed mire of manufactured sound. With this much talent in evidence, here's hoping that Stolie's future projects will be even better than this one. - Julie Craig

Venus Zine, Summer 2004
Satire-Laden Melodies uses gorgeous, visual songwriting and echoey, evocative vocals that fall somewhere between PJ Harvey and Bella Donna-era Stevie Nicks. - Erica Gallagher

Illinois Entertainer, July 2004
With sultry, yet soulful vocals and a repertoire ranging from Bjork-esque dance numbers like "Up to the Highlands" to more traditionally acoustic and moving ballads like "Skin" ... she is definitely a woman on the verge. - Dean Ramos

Nashville Rage, June 3, 2004
A collection of electronically tinged pop songs that are both smart and sexy, Stolie's work falls somewhere between Zero 7 and David Gray in that it's both forward-looking and accessible ... Songs like 'Up to the Highlands' master a kind of Velvet Underground heroin groove while [Stolie] croons magnetic, swooningly sexy melodies over the top. - Clay Steakley
