August Lee Stevens

Called “a star on the rise” by KQED, August Lee Stevens is a Bay Area-based musician and singer-songwriter whose dynamic sound merges the lyrical rawness and simplicity of folk songs with the lush melodies and vocals of neo-soul. Her debut EP “Better Places” came out in March 2024 to critical acclaim. She just sold out two shows at SFJAZZ, and in June you can see her opening for Smokey Robinson. Other recent highlights include supporting previous Tiny Desk winner Philharmonik, sitting in with Brian Jackson, Martin Luther McCoy and an allstar band in a tribute to Gil Scott Heron at SFJAZZ, and performing as part of the emerging artists supergroup Oakland Rising at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.  She is also a recipient of the Local Sirens Residency with Women’s Audio Mission.

A natural storyteller, August uses music to cut to the heart, inviting people to look in on some of her most intimate moments. Her music showcases that there is strength that comes from vulnerability and through the sharing of music she hopes to provide the backdrop to the more delicate moments of life. You can find her latest releases and performance on her website and all social media platforms.
