In an era of fluff, filler and intellectual starvation, Stephanie Carlin's work is a musical respite. There is a strength, power, humor and humility that belie her twenty-one years on this planet. Carlin speaks with wisdom and offers us emotional substance in an age of planned obsolescence and temporary notions. She feeds on emotion, lyrical substance, and endless depths of intricacy fused with intensely layered harmonies. A Long Island native whose path to Brooklyn always seemed clear, Carlin appeared on the New York music scene five years ago and has brought her original music to nearly 200 notable venues and festivals.

There are so many musical influences at play here it is difficult to know which one prevails. Folk, Jazz, Rock, Rhythm 'n Blues, World… you'll find it all wrapped up in the music of THE TOBY TOBIAS ENSEMBLE! What does come across quite clearly is a group of musicians who love performing their music, whether live or in the studio. Come on a musical journey with them!
