Biography

Stephanie Davis was born and raised in Montana, where she obtained a degree in journalism from the University of Montana in Missoula. After stints in Alaska and California, where she played in numerous bands and worked a variety of jobs, she moved to Nashville to further pursue her songwriting and music passions.
Her first official cut as a songwriter was the song “Wolves”, recorded by Garth Brooks on his No Fences release. Brooks also recorded several more of Stephanie’s songs (“The Gift”, “Learning to Live Again”, “We Shall Be Free”). He also invited her to be his opening act in 1993. Stephanie and Garth remain friends and collaborators and she continues to occasionally join his road band.
Stephanie released an album for Asylum Records in 1993. Dissatisfied with the recording and the factory-like mentality of the Nashville record industry at the time, she moved back to Montana and purchased a small ranch, writing with renewed enthusiasm and purpose from a 100-year-old homestead cabin. The result was her self-produced, well-received Crocus In The Snow.
During this period NPR's radio program A Prairie Home Companion came to broadcast from Butte, Montana and Stephanie was asked to appear on the show. Both being tall and shy, Stephanie and Garrison Keillor hit it off immediately and Stephanie continues to be an occasional guest on PHC. The experience inspired her explore comedy and to write and produce her own Trail’s End Ranch Radio show, which debuted in 2009 at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada.
Stephanie has recently moved to Bozeman, Montana, where she continues to write, tour, and record, as well as pursue her passions for playing the Telecaster guitar and running marathons.
