“I used to like Oklahoma, Marlboro Reds, and Motel Rooms…” sings Stefanie Joyce on ‘Tulsa,’ the track that the album derives its name from. Marlboro Reds & Motel Rooms is a collection of songs that tell five stories of sin, redemption, and everything in between. Produced by Kyle Manner at Station West Studios in Nashville, dripping with pedal steel and fiddle, the EP showcases Joyce’s vintage, gritty sound, with plenty of stripped back moments to let her lyrics shine through.

Stefanie grew up in British Columbia and moved to Nashville in 2017. After four years of penning songs for other artists (such as Mary-Heather Hickman’s viral hits ‘Baptist Parking Lot’ and ‘Treasure’), she decided to embark on her own artist project, a rootsy, edgy collection of songs inspired by her love of classic country storytelling, red-dirt music, and a propensity to write things that “make people uncomfortable.” Her debut EP, Marlboro Reds & Motel Rooms, was released on 8/12/22. Stefanie has been featured in Music Row Magazine, Wide Open Country, and Americana Highways for her music, and she is making strides for herself as a standout, unique artist on the scene.
