THE STEPKIDS – NEW ALBUM TROUBADOUR – RELEASED 16TH SEPTEMBER ON STONES THROW

The release of The Stepkids’ 2011 self-titled debut album and the bountiful praise for their visually psychedelic live show led to tours with Kimbra, Mayer Hawthorne, Grace Potter, Mates of State and The Horrors. Now, the result of the experience gained and lessons learned since the release of The Stepkids can be heard throughout new album Troubadour, out 9th September on Stones Throw Records.

‘The Lottery’, a song that Jeff Gitelman (guitar, vocal) describes as being about “the gamble of different sides of life: The gamble of love, the gamble of business, and the general risk of following your heart”, has just been made available to stream.
The Stepkids are a trio who came together in 2009 after a decade of working in bands with some of the industry’s biggest names, creating a unique brand of modern psychedelic soul. The Bridgeport, CT based band– Jeff Gitelman (guitar, vocal), Dan Edinberg (bass, keys, voc) and Tim Walsh (drums, voc)– gleefully blend classic jazz, R&B, funk, 70s pop/rock and countless other genres and styles.
