Hailing from the East Bay town of Hercules, August Lee Stevens is a masterful young singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose work encompasses elements of soul, jazz, and modern folk. Possessed of a velvet-smooth voice and an innate gift for lyrical expression, Stevens is an artist whose profile is destined to rise.
Stevens has performed widely around the Bay Area and beyond, sharing the stage with Tiny Desk winner Philharmonik, Motown legend Smokey Robinson, and Bay Area artist Mara Hruby, as well as performing at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, the Kennedy Center, and supporting Rhiannon Giddens as part of emerging artist collective Oakland Rising.
