After three sell out shows in his hometown of Liverpool’s East Village Arts Club, 02 Academy and Epstein Theatre, a spot at SXSW followed by a tour in the States, and gracing the stage at some of Britain’s most prestigious venues – including the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (supporting the Lightning Seeds) and The Sage in Gateshead (supporting China Crisis), Stephen Langstaff is ready to hit UK radio with his soul tinged pop-ballad ‘Sirens’.
Relentlessly developing his sound since his early work, picked up by BBC Merseyside, Radio 2 and 6 Music, Stephen continues to flourish as both an accomplished live performer and songwriter.
Hook laden melodies and well crafted lyrics, delivered by a distinctive “spellbinding” vocal is Stephen’s trademark and sis what sets him apart from his peers, earning him slots supporting notable Merseyside acts such as Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen), Cast, Space, The Lightning Seeds and China Crisis.
With an effortless vocal described as “honey soaked” and a natural flare for writing that has been honed working with some of the industry’s finest writers and producers – including Blue Miller (India.Arie), Artful (formerly Artful Dodger) and Ciaron Bell (Atomic Kitten) – ‘Sirens’ , Stephen’s first official release (via Hug Records Absolute / Universal) gives a glimpse of what’s to come.
