The Kickstarter money will help fund the recording of Stephanie's first full-length and yet to be named album at Flux Studios in Manhattan. She is working with renowned producer Matt Pierson (Diana Krall, Kirk Whalum, Brad Mehldau, Jane Monheit) and a stellar group of musicians including bassist Alan Hampton (Gretchen Parlato), drummer Nate Wood (Kneebody) and pianist David Cook (Lizz Wright, Natasha Bedingfield).
