Stephen Spender

Artist Website

With an insatiable desire to create and inspire, Indie-Folk singer/songwriter Stephen Spender combines his signature gruf yet melodic vocal stylings with playful lyricism. Often armed with just an acoustic guitar, Stephen is carving out a name for himself for his ability to convey lust, reflection, tenderness and nostalgia.

Stylistically, it’s a strong nod to roots music, with his compositions often pivoting around quintessential folk themes of letting go and hardship. Though, this is not without a positive undercurrent often instilling hope into the listener.

Stephen has played all over western Canada, UK, Europe and even the Maritimes, and has even opened for the Arkells in Saskatchewan, Canada. He’s also had several songs used in short films and features (Galveston, Chasing Evel: The Robbie Knievel Story, Rabbit), and is sitting on a discography of three studio albums, two of which were produced by Juno-nominated producer, David Meszaros.
