The Steppers are a fast-picking, hard-driving, mind-bending psychedelic string-band out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, blending bluegrass roots with the freewheeling energy of improvisational rock, funk, and folk. With Jake Tobey on guitar and vocals, Theran Lantz on mandolin and vocals, and Lawson Popejoy on bass and vocals, the band has built a sound that gleefully ignores genre lines while honoring the traditions that inspired them. Their music stretches from tender to ferocious, weaving sharp songwriting with adventurous, shape-shifting musicianship that refuses to sit still.
