about
Independent Minnesota based singer-songwriter Stacy K teamed up with the renowned Erik Koskinen for her next album due to release in 2023. Adventurous roots rock that puts everything on the table; small town love, old cars, sobriety or lack thereof, and happiness - and no genre is off limits; Harry Nilsson-esq pop to Lucinda Williams like blues dirges show up. With the grit to prove it, Stacy K is a wrangler of kids, songs, chickens, sobriety, and a melody with a background rooted in the working class.
"Her writing is catchy enough for pop sensationalism while raw, witty and poetic enough to derive a pastoral Joni Mitchell vibe—begging to instigate an onslaught of nostalgic memories for anyone who has the pleasure of listening." -Alaina Oehrlein | the REDCURRENT
"There is something entrancing about Stacy K that is both vulnerable and mesmerizing." -ANDREA SWENSSON | The Local Show 89.3 the Current

Stacy K has been playing music her entire life but it became her career by a simple twist of fate. Originally from Sleepy Eye, MN she got her start performing with the popular Midwest band The Johnny Holm Band by getting picked out of the crowd to sing the popular song I Will Survive. She was hired on the spot. After four years on the road, she moved to Minneapolis and began to create and perform her own music. One of her most recognized previous projects is Hotel Colfax, which would lead to her being recognized by The Current as “Best New Act To Keep An Eye On.” Stacy K’s sound wavers between indie-folk to art-pop-rock, experimenting with computer, drum machines, and synths. This new sound is evident in her recently released singles Feels Good, Chemical Reaction, Cheap Thrills, and Teenage Moods. The newest material is deeply personal and speaks to the long road to sobriety and the joy of becoming a new mother. Ending the 2019 year, Stacy K released the single, Wildflowers. This song observes why the singer loves to be with someone and celebrates that in a“doot doot doot, I love to be with you” catchy Paul & Linda McCartney Ram essence, bringing Stacy K’s sound back to her indie-folk roots.
Stacy K has released three albums and five singles: Wildflowers (single, 2019), Teenage Moods (single, 2019), Cheap Thrills (single, 2019), Chemical Reaction (single, 2018), Feels Good (single, 2018), Hotel Colfax (2015), Swarming with Frenzy, Swirling with Delight (2013), Little Glass Houses (2008).
Other recordings: MR DR (Country Duo with Dave Mehling): Summer in the Backseat (2017), Blame Someone Else (self titled Blame Someone Else, 2011).
