Stephanie Nash is a fourth-generation dairy farmer from Central California whose songwriting and love of music is inspired by country voices of the ‘90s. While contributing to duties of the family farm, now located in Tennessee, Stephanie also pursues her passion for music and uses its platform to bring visibility to the agricultural community and the crisis’ it faces.
Her co-penned first single “Best Side of Me” is a rockin’, rebellious tale of love [“trying not to burn my wings”] with intentional vocals and a sweeter-than-honey drawl. Her inspiration behind the song, produced by Kent Wells (Dolly, Reba, Brooks & Dunn), stems from growing up on dirt roads, and having a taste for the wild side.
Music Row magazine’s critic Bob Oermann presented her a DisCovery Award and raved “This has a very cool, dark, rocking undertow that is gripping and ear catching. Her confident, penetrating vocal delivery smacks every note resoundingly. The ‘rebel’ lyric is a winner, too. Play it.”
Following in her father’s footsteps, a former California Dairy Industry State Representative, Stephanie is focused on raising awareness to better the state of farming. She regularly partners with Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters around the country for appearances, performances, and is hosting a fundraiser in October in order to award student scholarships to aid in tuition and book expenses.
Look for her second, self-penned single “Time Changes,” which is inspired by and written about struggling farmers. And check out the eight-episode video series of the same name on her YouTube that features regional farms from South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama to Mississippi and Montana.
Recently, Stephanie has performed on RFDTV’s ‘FFA Today’ program, sang the national anthem at the 2020 Tennessee Walking Horse Show, and is slated to appear and sing at the Young Farmers and Ranchers event in October.
