Bio

The StereoFidelics blend jazz-influenced improvisation with their art rock melodies and extreme instrumental choreography to deliver an exciting show for both the eyes and ears. By showcasing their multi-instrumental capability, these two talented musicians are able to operate completely as a duet and deliver a full sound. The StereoFidelics consist of Chris Padgett (acoustic and electric guitars, keyboard, synthesizer, synth bass, live loops, and vocals) and Melissa McGinley (electric violin, drums, and vocals).

Since releasing their first EP in early 2007, The StereoFidelics have firmly established themselves in the musical hotbed of Asheville, NC. Their infectious sound and energetic performances have earned them performances in such prestigious venues as The Orange Peel (voted one of the top 10 venues in the country by Rolling Stone Magazine) and The Grey Eagle Music Hall. The StereoFidelics have done intense promoting of their music outside of Asheville as well; touring extensively throughout the southeast, midwest, west coast, mountain west, and into the northeast during the summer of 2007 and all of 2008. After much anticipation, they released their debut album, Only Sleeping on Rubberneck Records in December '08 and will be back on the road most of 2009.

A review from Lindsay Van Osten - The Red Banana; Philadelphia, PA

 

"They are my favorite type of band, because it is virtually impossible to label them as a specific genre.  Their music crosses a multitude of style lines, fusing everything from rock, classical, jazz, and world music, into one.  Perhaps the most fascinating thing about the StereoFidelics is that the two of them play all of their own instruments. Simple, right? Wrong. All kinds of musicians put out records where they cover several parts in each track, but how many pull this off live?  Somehow Padgett and McGinley have developed a rhythm in the orchestration of their songs, that enables their live performances to exhibit the same instrumental richness as their recordings."

 

"...The first track is "Black Elephants".  Underneath the dark meaning of the lyrics, you can feel the music infiltrating your body and spreading through your veins.  McGinley's work on drumset locks into a groove that hooks the listener immediately, while the honest vocals Padgett produces work magically to tell the story.  The second track, "Me, You, And Everyone We Knew", is a self-described homage to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  This has easily become one of my current iTunes favorites.  Everything in the song fits together perfectly, and works to create a phenomenal music experience."
