Though they’ve already proven their outspokenness as an anti-racist organizer/activist, Stellar‘s passion is about to shine in a separate-but-adjacent setting – folk music. The Austin-based singer’s style falls somewhere between Sinead O’Connor, Indigo Girls, and Joni Mitchell, framing candid societal commentary over enthralling instrumental arrangements.
Stellar releases their debut LP RAINBOW SHADOWS this Friday and shares it digitally via livestream that same day, and you can get a grasp on this record’s full spectrum of worldly reflections with a quick listen to the album’s societally-charged lead single, “Enemy”! - KUTX - NPR

Bio
Soon relocating to Richmond, VA, Austin-based transcendental folk artist Stellar weaves unflinchingly introspective singer-songwriting with the urgent calls to action of classic counter-cultural folk music.
Their 2018 album Off To Starboard with The Seventh String is a love letter to planet Earth, water, and the unfettered power of femme folk to change where the winds blow. Their 2021 solo debut RAINBOW SHADOWS is a manifesto of clear-eyed fury and compassion; a message in a bottle filled with uprising, ancestry, love, hope and resilience.
Rooted in early influences Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman, Stellar sings with a conviction and joy that helps us remember that the personal is political, oppression must be unlearned, and liberation is for everyone. When they're not singing or playing, Stellar can be found organizing with Austin activists, writing poetry, taking a long view of history, and doing their part to turn the Earth-ship toward a future where all are free.
