Stephan Nance was born in Eugene, Oregon, but raised outside any municipality, in the unincorporated area of Santa Clara. Like his childhood home, Stephan’s songwriting resists annexation; he specializes in awkwardly charming vegan straight-edge queer alternative piano folk rock. His is not the voice of the majority, nor the voice of a generation... but it is a voice worth listening to.
In 2012, he released his partly Kickstarter-funded debut studio album, A Troubled Piece of Fruit (2012). To celebrate, he played a free outdoor bike-powered show sponsored by Pedal Power Music and City of Eugene Transportation Planning, with complimentary vegan Coconut Bliss ice cream for all.
The trilingual epic “Japanese Garden / Jardin japonais / Yaponskii sad” was nominated for Best Alternative Song in the 8th Annual OUTmusic Awards. Rebecca DeMoss's striking artwork for A Troubled Piece of Fruit was nominated for for Best CD Cover Artwork.
Stephan is currently working on his second and third albums.
